Individual hunger strike ignored by prison

In my last letter to MIM I explained how I was on a hunger strike. Well the strike lasted for eight days, but I am sad to say it did not get me anywhere. These pigs do not care if you die and I was on it by myself so it did not get anyone's attention who could help me. No Captains or Lieutenants came to ask me what I was striking for, like they are supposed to, nobody at this institution seemed to care, besides the nurses, but they can not do anything in those situations besides weigh me. So I lost that battle but the war is not over yet. Today I was moved to another ad-seg building because I refused to accept a cellie. No I am in a cell with no widows, concrete bunks, and when you look out the door window you can not see anything but a 50 foot concrete wall. When I thought it could not get worse it did!

Brothers and sisters, it is time to organize and take charge. We have to put an end to these control units and stop the mental torment and dehumanization of prisoners.
