Reblogged from Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity:
The Short Corridor Collective at Pelican Bay State Prison has asked us to publish a letter denouncing the reforms proposed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The collective remains in steadfast opposition to the proposal, which they rejected in March of this year. This statement responds to the CDCR's July proposal revision, saying: "We remain 100% opposed to CDCR’s revised proposal for the same reasons stated publicly ." More pointedly, it also says: "We cannot accept the garbage proposal from CDCR!"
