"The real measure of a society is how it treats its weakest members."The weakest means its imprisoned citizens, the disenfranchised, impoverished, jobless, its animals. These are in need of more compassion, not less.
There are unconfirmed reports that Pelican Bay torture (Special Handling Unit) victims have begun taking food. Their hunger strike to call attention to deplorable conditions tantamount to CIA-sponsored secret prisons on foreign soil. Pelican Bay is in California and represents a kind of prison built for psychological and physical torture.
SuperMax housing is not more secure housing, as it is intended to be. It is less safe by virtue of the fact that victims of this kind of treatment go insane by being deprived of human contact. Worse is the fact that what gets one sent to such facilities has little to do with the danger they present. Any documented affiliation with a gang -- even standing in a picture with a prisoner who is later determined to be a member -- means permanent lock up in maximum security.
The real reason for this? Pressure by California's largest and most powerful union, the Prison Guard's Union ensuring is growth and success. As difficult as this is to believe, three-strikes legislation was also lobbied for and financed by this union. And going deeper, the real reason behind this SuperMax movement is a worldwide fascist movement. The Nazis did not lose WW II as we are taught. They went underground (often invited to America to work and prosper here teaching SS techniques to clandestine services like the CIA, NASA, FBI, NSA, Mi5, Mi6, Moussad, KGB, and so on around the world. Impossible? Our CIA would never do that or teach others to do that?

Reaching at least 6,600 prisoners across 13 prisons, this massive and inspiring act of solidarity and people power across prison-manufactured and exacerbated racial and geographic lines has dumbfounded the CDCR (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, nothing about routine torture). While the daily numbers of hunger strikers fluctuates, the CDCR is underestimating how many people inside prison are participating in and supporting this strike.
Richard C. Hoagland put together the pieces -- NAZIs, NASA, and global fascism because the NAZI movement itself lived on stronger than ever after WW II.
