To clarify: Gov. Brown is invited to visit the SHU installed by protestors. From the article: On July 8, 2013, another mass strike began. Prisoners hoped that by more of them participating, Brown would respond favorably. 30,000 California prisoners began this latest hunger strike to end torture of solitary confinement and for their basic rights and humanity. Hundreds of prisoners have gone over one month without food and many more in many prisons have risked retaliation by supporting the strike, by going on and off the hunger strike since its beginning. On July 5, Amnesty International stated that “rather than improving,” conditions in California prisons “have actually significantly deteriorated.” On July 22, 2013, Amnesty International called California Prisons and the CDCR’s response to the hunger strike an “affront to human rights.”
