DESCRIPTION:Come demonstrate support and solidarity with the Pelican Bay Prison Hunger 
 Strikers on the first day of their courageous and important 
 action.\n\n\nFight for their demands to be met: \n\n\n1. END "GROUP 
 PUNISHMENT" where an individual prisoner breaks a rule and prison officials 
 punish a whole group of prisoners of the same race.\n\n\n2. ABOLISH 
 "DEBRIEFING" and modify active/inactive gang status criteria. False and/or 
 highly questionable “evidence” is used to accuse prisoners of being 
 active/inactive members of prison gangs who are then sent to the SHU where 
 they are subjected to long-term isolation and torturous conditions. One of 
 the only ways these prisoners can get out the SHU is if they 
 “debrief”—that is, give prison officials information on gang 
 activity.\n\n\n3. COMPLY with recommendations from a 2006 U.S. commission 
 to “make segregation a last resort” and “end conditions of 
 isolation.”\n\n\n4. PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOOD. Prisoners report unsanitary 
 conditions and small quantities of food. They want adequate food, wholesome 
 nutritional meals including special diet meals and an end to the use of 
 food as a way to punish prisoners in the SHU.\n\n\n5.EXPAND AND PROVIDE 
 CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAMS and privileges for indefinite SHU inmates—including 
 the opportunity to “engage in self-help treatment, education, religious 
 and other productive activities...” which are routinely denied. DEMANDS 
 INCLUDE one phone call per week, one photo per year, 2 packages a year, 
 more visiting time, permission to have wall calendars, and sweat suits and 
 watch caps (warm clothing is often denied even though cells and the 
 exercise cage can be bitterly cold).\n
