 \n\nSing along with “23 Hours” written and sung by Sarah Torres (Audio

 California prisoners’ 2012 Agreement to End Hostilities between 
 racial/ethnic and geographic groups made possible the CA Prisoner Hunger 
 Strike of 2013 by over 30,000 CA prisoners and 100's more nationwide. 
 Prisoners' human rights organizing has built a powerful movement and led to 
 the historic 2015 settlement ending indefinite solitary confinement in CA. 
 It appears CDCR is attempting to prevent effective human rights work by 
 prisoners in solitary by instituting a debilitating and 
 internationally-condemned torture technique: sleep deprivation. \n\nEmail
