Journey within the cold, imposing walls of Pelican Bay State Prison, where a silent protest against prolonged isolation unfolded. In 2002, 60 inmates from the Security Housing Unit (SHU) embarked on a hunger strike, sparking the resistance that reached its zenith on July 1, 2011, as thousands across California joined a collective outcry against oppressive conditions. This gripping tale unveils the demands for basic human rights, from warm clothes to outdoor exercise, echoing through a two-month hunger strike in 2013. Witness the toll on participants and the spotlight cast on the SHUs, ultimately leading to a pivotal moment as lawmakers pledged to investigate and consider changes. 🚫🍽️ #PelicanBay #solitaryconfinement #prisonreform #InmateRights #hungerstrike #prisonlife #humanrights #PrisonConditions #CaliforniaPrisons
