Correction: we originally posted that Soja started his hunger strike on Jan 24th, he's actually already been on much longer than that.
We just got a call that Cornelius Harris (#525-945)
also known as Soja, has been on hungerstrike since Jan 4th. Today he
was transferred to Franklin County Medical Center, for reasons unknown.
Soja
is demanding a reliable security level step-down procedure and an end
to violence and harassment from guards at OSP. His hunger strike is also
interrupting a trial process he is going through for criminal charges
stemming from defending himself against this harassment, as described by
him on RedBirdPrisonAbolition.org.
Please contact Warden David
Bobby at OSP and request that Mr. Harris' demands for real change at OSP
be met. The prison number is (330) 743-0700 ext 2006 for Warden's
Office.
