DESCRIPTION:(Prisoner hunger strike to resume)\n\nFrom July 1 to July 20, prisoners in 
 the Security Housing Unit (SHU) in California’s Pelican Bay State Prison 
 held a three-week hunger strike, demanding an end to the barbaric, inhumane 
 conditions of solitary confinement.(see the article The Prisoner Hunger 
 Strike: A Real Inspiration, A Real Beginning and other Revolution coverage 
 and news from the July strike here) These prisoners set a courageous 
 example and inspired people all over the world. And this heroic struggle of 
 prisoners from the most brutal hellholes of the U.S. prison system 
 continues to be an extremely significant and extraordinary 
 development.\n\nThe hunger strike shined a damning light on the fact that 
 prisoners at Pelican Bay are being tortured—kept in windowless cells for 
 23 hours a day, denied human contact, subjected to routine brutal “cell 
 extractions” where they are beaten down by squads of guards. And because 
 of this, many more people also became aware of the fact that tens of 
 thousands of prisoners in maximum security prisons all over the USA are 
 being subjected to the barbaric cruelty of solitary confinement.\n\nAfter 
 weeks of refusing to negotiate and insisting the prisoners are less than 
 human, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) 
 was effectively forced to meet with some of the hunger strikers and say 
 they would review the prisoners 5 demands and the prisoners decided to 
 suspend the hunger strike. But in the last two months there has been no 
 indication that the CDCR is going to meet the prisoners’ demands.\n\nOn 
 September 1, the San Francisco Bay View newspaper received a letter from 
 Pelican Bay SHU inmate Mutope Duguma saying “we are going forward with 
 our indefinite hunger strike, which will start on Sept. 26, 2011.” 
 Prisoners at Calipatria State Prison have indicated they will also be 
 involved. (Read the whole article here.)\n
