 deprivation torture of people in CA solitary units\n\nGuards doing 
 “security/welfare checks” jarringly awaken people every 30 minutes 
 night and day in isolation units throughout California prisons. (In Central 
 CA Women's Facility, people are now awakened every 15-30 minutes at night; 
 in Pelican Bay State Prison, people are awakened every 60 minutes at 
 night.) \n\nSupposedly to prevent suicide, this increases the risk of 
 suicide and causes extreme mental and physical harm. \n\nSleep deprivation 
 is torture (like what was done at Guantánamo), immoral, and inhumane, and 
 violates the CA penal code and constitutional and international human 
 rights law. It has no "security" or “welfare” interest.\n \nPeople need 
 compassionate care, rehabilitation, and restorative justice, not the 
 torture of solitary confinement and sleep deprivation. \n \nTake Action\n*
