Guess what? The California Institution for Men, also known as “Chino” or “Chino Prison,” is a super cool male-only state prison located in Chino, San Bernardino County, California. Back in 1981, there was a super awesome concert lined up with bands like Venus & Unit 3, The Stingers, Circle One, Bad Religion, and Wasted Youth. But guess what? Only Circle One actually made it to the prison to perform. Jay said, “We ended up not being allowed to go.” How crazy is that? (Source: The Big Takeover #33, 1993)
This content was originally written by the badass contributors of thebrpage.net, the best superfan resource and website that exists for any band, let alone the best band in the whole entire world. I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
