Gov. Jerry Brown has appointed a 20-year corrections veteran as the new warden of San Quentin State Prison, the oldest and most famous of California’s penitentiaries.

Ronald Davis, 45, has been acting warden since December while his appointment was being vetted. The prison has had about three dozen wardens since it opened in 1852, along with numerous acting wardens.

“It’s amazing to be a part of the history of San Quentin,” Davis said Wednesday. “That was part of the draw coming here — everybody worldwide knows San Quentin.”

Davis started in the corrections department in 1994 after six years in the Navy and a year as a nuclear power plant operator. He rose from the rank-and-file into higher positions while working at the state prisons in Soledad, Corcoran, Avenal and Chowchilla.
