PRISON STRIKE ENTERS THIRD WEEK
It has been three weeks since prisoners began organizing to protest against inhumane conditions in U.S. prisons nationwide. This is the largest prison strike in U.S. history. “Organizers report that as of last week at least 20 prisons in 11 states continued to protest, including in Alabama, California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, South Carolina and Washington.” In an effort to deter the prisoners several facilities are now on lock-down with organizers in solitary confinement. Inmates are being denied visits and phone access.
Prisoners are organizing hunger strikes, marches and labor strikes against what they call “slavery.”
