Reverse Ribbon Cuttings to Protest Opening of Delano II Prison
Protests Held in Several Cities on June 1st as California Opens 33rd Prison
In spite of huge budget shortfalls and polls that show that
Californians want cuts to prison spending and are in favor of rehabilitation over
more prisons, California will open its 33rd state prison on June 1st: the
$750 million Delano II. At the same time, the state is closing
schools, hospitals and libraries. On June 1st, hundreds of people all over California will protest the opening of the Delano II prison and the closing of public institutions that truly build safe communities.
"Reverse Ribbon Cuttings" were held at 12pm in several cities around the state on Wednesday, June 1st to protest the opening of the Delano II Prison.
