California Dept of Corrections (& rehab - what a joke) has called a public hearing to expand the minimum time in the hole without a review hearing from 30 days to 90 days for some infractions, as long as six months MINIMUM for others. This punishes the mentally ill and children as there are no phone calls and getting visits is very hard while in cruel isolation, no canteen, no personal property in the 4' x 4' box,

U.N.I.O.N.
United for No Injustice, Oppression or Neglect
NEEDS YOU

to attend and speak out against changes in ad seg rules which include extending review time to 90 days. This means minimum time in the "hole" would automatically be at least 100 days. There are other horrors in these proposed rule changes that we need to rail against

Family ties will be cut, lawsuits delayed and mental illness made more severe. The hole is a cruel place to be and no human being should ever be tortured in this manner let alone for months and years at a time!

Worse, CDC has already put this horrible cruelty into effect under the guise of "emergency regulations." It's going to take a major outcry to get this reversed. That means hundreds of us need to show up.

Afterward, please attend a press conference to support a lawsuit against employees of four prisons who tortured and medically neglected Inmate Mark Grangetto who is dying in the Corcoran SHU where he is unlawfully housed. This lawsuit will benefit every inmate

September 7, 2005, 10 a.m.
Water Resources Auditorium, 1416 9th Street at N St, Sacramento, California
Public Hearing & Press Conference
