On July 8th 30,000 prisoners went on a hunger strike to bring attention to the inhumane conditions & torture of people locked up for 5, 10, 15 and in one person's case 42 years in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day in a 11' x 7' cell. The cells are concrete coffins with only enough room to pace for 3 steps. The only human contact for most in these special housing units (SHU) is when they are being handcuffed by CDCR guards.
Added to the calendar on Friday Sep 27th, 2013 2:29 PM
After a Federal judge ruled that CDCR can force feed prisoners the Prisoners decided to suspend the strike, Not end it. The Prisoners have 5 demands: 1) Eliminate group punishment & administrative abuse. 2) Abolish the debriefing policy & modify active/inactive gang status criteria. 3) Comply with the recommendations of the US Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons recommendations and END LONG-TERM SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. 4) Provide adequate and nutritious food. 5) Create and expand constructive programming. THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES.....Pick Up The Baton! |
