Request for legislative hearing regarding gang and segregation policies by the California Department of Corrections (CDC)

Dear Senator Romero,

As you are aware prisoners, their families, and citizens in general have for years been trying to get the CDC to cease its arbitrary and capricious gang and SHU policies. However, it does not seem likely -- even after the intervention of Senator Richard Polanco following the July 2001 and October 2002 hunger strike -- that the CDC will make the necessary changes that are immediately required. They're not even willing to create the three or four sentence definition for what constitutes "gang activity."

Due to the fact that you are now familiar with the issues, I respectfully request that you convene a legislative hearing as soon as practical to bring to light all of these issues of the CDC's gang policies. Their non-compliance and false promises have gone on long enough. It is time to bring this issue to a legislative hearing and public forum so that prisoner's and their family's and supporter's voices can all be heard. I wish to thank you and all of your colleagues for your attention and effort in this matter.

Sincerely,

________	________________________________________________
