Call for the CA Prison Hunger Strikers!

Prisoners in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at Pelican Bay State Prison (California) began a hunger strike on July 1, 2011 to protest the cruel, inhumane and tortuous conditions of their imprisonment. At least 6,600 prisoners across the state of CA have joined them in solidarity with their demands. Though Pelican Bay prisoners have accepted an offer from the CDCR which grants night caps (beanies), wall calendars, and some educational program opportunities, the rest of their demands have not been met and prisoners at Calipatria, Corcoran and Tehachapi remain on strike.

A Letter to Friends from Lynne Stewart

In the best-selling Steig Larsson trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the heroine, Lisbeth Salander, a hardwired, brilliant young computer genius is shot and presumed to be dead, but is actually buried alive by the antagonist. He is a prototype of the cruel, greedy, misogynistic, exploiter. She claws herself out of her premature grave and, indomitable and focused, defeats him. Finally by the end of volume three she has triumphed—using her own brains and, relying on her friends and comrades—over the entire corrupt corporate, governmental, military power structure that had been trying to oppress and suppress her, her whole life.
