SACRAMENTO – The mass inmate-initiated hunger strike is over, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced today. CDCR officials in Sacramento were contacted by inmates by letter on October 11. It was the first such contact by inmates or their representatives during the inmate-led action. Officials agreed to meet with inmate representatives to discuss its ongoing review of and revisions to its Security Housing Unit (SHU) policies that began in May 2011. Similar to its discussions with inmates during a July hunger strike, all agreed the changes to policies would take several months to finalize. The department agreed to continue on its same course. Inmates initiated a second hunger strike on September 26, and after three days, 4,252 inmates in eight state prisons had missed nine consecutive meals – the point at which CDCR considers an inmate to be on a hunger strike. By October 13, the number of inmates participating had dropped to 580 inmates in three state prisons. There are approximately 160,355 inmates in the state’s 33 prisons, 42 conservation camps, community-based correctional facilities and three out-of-state contract facilities. CDCR is continuing its investigation into allegations of threats or retaliation against inmates for not participating in the hunger strike. |

Well its about time, yep we as CONVICTS deserve to get what we have comming to us doing time in the SHU no matter what, just because were in the SHU does'nt mean CDC can run there own program and not acording to our displenery action or privillage group the way CDC should run our program and give us what the title 15 say we can have or the new memos with the different new stuff that we can have. And not to mention about the GANG VALIDATION yeah check this twist out that good ol CDC dose, ok you get sent to the SHU for whatever it may be right? Now you have guys in the SHU already doing time for whatever and they have been validated already, right, now CDC puts us all together in the same pod and when ever you have a chance to talk to another convict you do right, well guess wha the next thing you know you are being validated because CDC puts us together, now is that right? But thats the way CDC gets down. I pray to GOD that all the corup and fale shit that CDC does in the SHU will all come to an end. Its time, past time that the people see behind the walls of corup and mismanage SHU units within CDC prisons, TIME FOR A CHANGE NOW, NOT TOMMOROW. Power to all fellow CONVICTS....
