DESCRIPTION:On December 9, 2010, thousands of prisoners in at least six Georgia state 
 prisons initiated the largest prisoner strike in recent U.S. history, 
 uniting across racial boundaries to demand an immediate end to the cruel 
 and dehumanizing conditions that damage prisoners, their families, and the 
 communities they return to.  Many are facing retaliation now, including 
 isolation and, reportedly, violent attacks.\n\nHave you ever wondered what 
 prison isolation does to the mind, the body, the human spirit?  Or why have 
 prisoners in Ohio and Georgia gone on strike?  What are these strikes' 
 implications for the future?\n\nWhether or not you have ever been to 
 prison, or have a friend or family member in prison, incarceration affects 
 all of us -- it affects our taxes, our social environment, our rights, our 
 fears, our futures, and how we live our lives.  And when cruel and unusual 
 punishments are committed in our names and with our tax dollars, each of us 
 has a responsibility to educate ourselves and to speak up.\n\nCome to UC 
 Hastings this Wednesday, March 16th, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. for a discussion 
 and workshop about the recent prisoner-led organizing in Ohio and Georgia, 
 prison conditions in general, and how people on the outside can support 
 community organizers on the inside.  It is sponsored by the National 
 Lawyers Guild and Hastings Prisoner Outreach, and will be held at\n198 
 McAllister St (at Hyde Street)\nFirst Floor\nRoom A (There will be an 
 organizational member at the front door to lead you to the room.) San 
 Francisco (just north of the Civic Center BART/MUNI station)\n\nFor more
