 DEPRIVATION in CA Solitary Units in Pelican Bay SHU and Central CA 
 Women’s Facility Death Row \n \nThe 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 an amazing movement and led to the historic 2015 settlement ending 
 indefinite solitary confinement in CA. \n \nNow people are being awakened 
 by guards every 30 minutes day and night in CA solitary confinement 
 units:\n* in Central CA Women’s Facility Administrative Segregation death 
 row since May 18, 2014\n* in Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing Unit 
 (SHU) since August 2, 2015\n \nPlease write letters to Lindsay Hayes, the 
 suicide expert who has endorsed this harmful practice by CA Dept. of 
 Corrections. Hayes can stop the “security/welfare checks.” We want 
 Hayes to hear the voices of the women and men affected by these torturous 
 checks, and we ask you to be the messengers.\n \n"This is torture. We are 
 being emotionally, mentally and physically battered by the security checks 
 throughout the nights." -20 death row prisoners in Central California 
 Women's Facility \n \n“The negative health consequences of inadequate 
 sleep ha[ve] been extensively documented and nowhere in the literature is 
 there a report on as severe a disruption in sleep as is occurring in the 
 Pelican Bay SHU.” – Dr. Jamie Zeitzer, internationally recognized sleep 
 expert, Oct. 2015\n \nLetter templates, instructions, and prisoners’ 
 quotes

 \nCentral California, please send copy of your letter to 
 kohenet@sbcglobal.net\n\nJune is Torture Awareness Month. \nSolitary 
 confinement and deprivation of sunlight and sleep, basic Maslow human 
 needs, violate prisoners’ constitutional, human, and penal rights, 
 including numerous international laws that prohibit torture and cruel, 
 inhuman and degrading treatment. \n
