*Tell Jerry Brown to end the abuse of solitary confinement*
Take Action!

On July 8, 2013, prisoners in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at Pelican
Bay State Prison began a hunger strike to protest the conditions under
which they are being held. According to the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), 30,000 prisoners throughout the
system refused meals on the third day of the strike.
The Friends Committee on Legislation of California maintains that long-term
isolation as practiced in California prisons violates basic human rights
and amounts to torture. Prisoners are confined to small cells for 22 ½
hours per day and are released from cells for only for exercise in a small
enclosed yard. Most prisoners are placed in solitary confinement
indefinitely for non-behavior based violations, usually for gang
affiliation, and without adequate due process. Many will languish there
for years or even decades. Join us in calling on Governor Jerry Brown to
end these egregious abuses.
TAKE ACTION.<http://capwiz.com/fclca/utr/1/GROUTFURBK/LJQVTFURUM/9756063186>
