IMO this is a big thing. every car participated in this, in solidarity (white,black,sur,norte,others)something that has never been done before... even inmates in other states including oklahoma and washington are involved. this is being done to shed light on the circumstances the inmates are going through. set aside from being a hunger strike it's also a work stoppage. the prison industry complex makes millions per year off inmate labor and their hoping it cripples the system somewhat.my boy who is a lifer is participating,and they are refusing the meals but are eating stuff they stocked up on. i guess by law though if inmates refuse 9 meals it's considered a hunger strike. Californias prison system is really jacked up and the feds are tired of coming out the pocket for it's bullshit and has ordered Gov Jerry Brown to start releasing 10,000 inmates by the end of the year. this is some heavy duty shit and who knows what it's going to lead to at this point. we're in some crazy times at this point.
