Hunger strike representatives at Pelican Bay State Prison’s Security Housing Unit (SHU), known as the Short Corridor Collective, have written and released a document rejecting the CDCR’s proposed plan for new regulations concerning SHU placement and gang validation, and presenting a counter-proposal. Read the Short Corridor Collective’s rejection here and read their counter-proposal here.
i’m proud of the inmates counter proposal. The breadth of research is vast, true and articulated well. How about while they are in the process to general population, if they are ever given the chance, they get a flood of self help opportunities to keep them busy and focused on positive change for when they do get housed in general population?
The part the inmates articulated about the flimsy evidence used by gang coordinators, example- a name showing up on anything and anywhere, combined with the unreliable nature of the debriefing process should be a cause of concern for anyone who cares about justice! I turned my life around from prison by writing novels and other prisoners can make the change given half a chance.
