“Lockdown in California Prisons”
Date: 12/29/1993Call Number: PM 232Format: CassetteProducers: KPFACollection: Political Prisoner Periodicals
KPFA broadcast of the overcrowding of prisons and the violent tactics employed by prison guards. Old interviews from George Jackson and James "Doc" Holiday discuss the brutal conditions of inmate abuse and the inattention it receives from the media. They discuss the San Quentin strike and outline their demands of: adequate health care, the necessity for a congressional investigation into the prison administration, federal control, and negotiations with the media to provoke dialogue among the general public. The subsequent lockdown is discussed and by San Quentin Six inmate Hugo Pinell. Pinell, along with other inmates, recount the torture of being tear-gassed and beaten by brutal guards. Reporters describe action taken by Bay Area legal organizations challenging the lockdown and inhumane "quiet rooms" also known as "the hole". This report then describes the breaching of inmate rights such as attorney/client confidentiality, and rights to be interviewed. Background prison noise sometimes muffles the sound and makes it difficult to understand; other interviews relatively clear.
