This week's episode has two segments...
This week, you’ll hear a chat with
California-based activist Victoria from Merced Under Construction,
who talks to us about the prisoner hunger strikes at Merced County
Jail and John Latorraca Center. Over 40 prisoners engaged in hunger
strike for 17 days, fighting for issues like protesting black mold,
little food, lack of visitation and other issues. The hunger strike
ended Saturday, March 28th, despite the disrespect of the jail
administration. You can learn more about how to support and keep up
on https://linktr.ee/mercedunderconstruction or MIRA's
facebook page
You can find coverage of the 2016 Merced Jail protests, check out ItsGoingDown.Org
Then, you’ll hear from Josh from
the Certain Days Calendar and Mookie from the Civil Liberties
Defense Center do an update on a roundup of the recent trial of
Eric King. Eric was found innocent on charges of assaulting a
Federal Bureau of Prisons Lieutenant, a charge that would have
added another 20 years to his time in prison, thankfully. More on
his case at SupportEricKing.Org, more on Certain Days at
CertainDays.Org and the CLDC at CLDC.org
