"California
prisons--a state's roadmap to insolvency and a threat to public safety"
Place: Sacramento State Capitol, North Side of the Building (after the packages hearing walk down Ninth Street, 3 blocks east) CDC
Hearing on Packages: 9 am to 12 noon at 1416 9th St.
between O and P Sts., Resources Auditorium. Arrive
8 am so you can be out of the hearing early then go to the rally, best
plan is to come up the night before, check website for ride & room
info. Alerts.
Then walk down Ninth St., go East 3 blocks, to the Sacramento Capitol
North Side faces "L" Street Greyhound bus depot is at 7th and L St, two blocks
from the Capitol, lockers for suitcases are $3 day. Lawmakers need to wise up.. We, the voters, want SMART on CRIME policies. Tough on Crime results in recidivism and unsafe communities. This costs billions and has destroyed us. What
we want the legislators to do:
Restore Packages
from home Restore Four Day Visits - 30,000 children, mentally ill and families
are suffering. Legal cases are impaired. Visits are too short. Death row
has only 13 cages for visits for 650 families, those in ad seg at most
prisons must share three windows.
Allow the media back inside prisons and jails taxpayer financed
institutions. The public has a right to know what they are buying.
End State Murder by Medical Neglect. Stop disease epidemics now.
Provide more and healthier food. Decent dental care is needed now.
Prison Health is Public Health
Release the terminally ill now! Give transplants
to inmates or release them so they can get one!
Stop punishing, prosecuting and executing the
mentally ill and addicts - begin prevention and healing. Stop destruction
of people with our taxpayer dollars. Rehabilitate don't debilitate.
Declare a Moratorium on the Death Penalty The
system is corrupt arrest through parole. Executing and torturing the mentally
ill benefits no one. |
Begin
Sanity in Sentencing and fairer parole laws. Remove Susan Fisher
from the BPOT now.
The Torture
Buck Stops Here! No Torture at home or abroad of Prisoners!
Stop the increase in restitution. Prisoner families are Innocent Crime Victims too, not a CDC profit center End excessive lockdowns and SHU housing which cause mental illness. We demand immediate release and alternative sentencing of non violent inmates, a waste of taxpayer dollars and a non solution to crime. End slave labor to
the State, it's costing jobs
A crowd is needed to show the legislators that we, the voters of California
think the present prison system is ineffective, cruel and unusual, and
doing nothing to reduce crime. This means YOU.
Massive Budget Cuts affect every California inmate!
This rally is so important, you must attend. Bring every member of your
family! Only Crowds are heard!
If
you have an inmate inside, showing a crowd to prove our intelligence and
ability to organize is YOUR personal responsibility
The politicians are convinced we are too uneducated to
organize a large enough voting group. They must see us out
their windows in mass in ONE united coalition group before we will be taken
seriously as a movement.
6500 ACTIVE WORKERS can change any law, less than that cannot. Build
it or lose. The UNION is 6 years old. We grow forward but need your help.
We
are only as strong as the NUMBER of people who help with the work.
