This flyer can be used as a whole-sheet flyer, or print it double-sided,

word about the
striking
prisoners in Pelican Bay State Prison.
On the flyer there is an example of a support letter to send to
administrators about this issue. It is reprinted below for your
convenience.
Dear Warden Lewis,
I am writing this letter to you to express my concern for the prisoners
held in Pelican Bay State Prison’s short-corridor Group D. It is my
understanding that these people have no disciplinary charges, but are
being held in extreme isolation, unable to send photographs to their
families or speak to them on the phone.
I am concerned that these prisoners, who are under your responsibility,
are being denied their Constitutional right to due process. Not only do
these prisoners not have any disciplinary charges, but IGI is
intimidating and harassing them into fabricating information to avoid
false gang validations. This is illegal and upsetting. As a citizen of
the state of California, I fund your paycheck, and I expect more from a
state employee than to allow these gross violations of the Constitution
to happen right under your nose.
Studies prove time and time again that prisoners who have contact with
their family are able to rehabilitate much better than those who are
isolated. They are better able to adjust to society when they are
released, and avoid being sent back to prison. It is completely
irresponsible that you would permit IGI to cause this potential damage
in a person’s life, when they are supposed to be allowed these
privileges.
Since you are the Warden of Pelican Bay State Prison, I am asking that
you intervene in these illegal and irresponsible practices going on in
short-corridor Group D. Please allow the prisoners held there their full
privileges according to CDCR policies, and end the harassment and
intimidation of prisoners, especially ones who have no information, and
no disciplinary actions.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I also thank you for
your future efforts to resolve this problem.
Mail the petition to your loved ones and comrades in High Desert State
Prison’s Z-Unit (administrative segregation) who are experiencing
brutality and cruel living conditions. Send them extra copies to share!
