On Tuesday, August 6, Jeffrey Beard, the head of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, published an Op-ed in the Los Angeles Times that argued that the California Prisoners Hunger Strike, now into its 5th week, is not about protesting living conditions - long term solitary confinement - that constitute torture, but is instead is about prison gangs attempting to "restore their ability to terrorize fellow prisoners, prison staff and communities throughout California." This commentary from the Los Angeles branch of the Revolutionary Communist Party, lays bare the deceitful and vicious character of this op-ed and gets into what is really revealed in the Prisoners Hunger Strike.
