To the Death: California’s Prison Hunger Strike

By Kent Michaelian, Wednesday, July 27, 2011.

So. Another strike, another set of contrasting views, another pack of wolves with their hateful and ignorant comments. But this is far from your usual strike: we’re not talking wages or pensions here, we’re talking torture. Imagine an 8’ by 10’ area. It’s not hard—the size of a small...
