Inmate Protests in Georgia Prisons – How You Can Help

Friends of VOICE OF DETROIT, this is an emergency update. We have just received news that thousands of prisoners in Georgia have been on strike against inhuman conditions in at least six major prisons since Dec. 9. Supporters in Georgia say it is the LARGEST PRISON STRIKE IN NATIONAL HISTORY.  It is urgent that you read the story from Black Agenda Report at  http://voiceofdetroit.net/?p=3134. The strike is uniting Black, Brown and white prisoners, who are determined to maintain, but they are facing vicious retaliation. They are asking supporters to call the wardens of the following facilities at the numbers listed:

Macon State Prison is 978-472-3900. 

Hays State Prison is at (706) 857-0400

Telfair State prison is 229-868-7721

Baldwin State Prison is at (478) 445- 5218

Valdosta State Prison is 229-333-7900

Smith State Prison is at (912) 654-5000
