Prisoners Justice Day (PJD) originated in Millhaven Penitentiary on August 10, 1975, when the prisoners of that institution commemorated the first anniversary of the death of inmate Eddie Nalon. Nalon died in segregation after wounding himself in protest against the conditions of solitary confinement. He received no medical treatment. This first observance took the forum of a hunger strike and a day of mourning, and PJD has since grown to become an international solidarity and protest movement.
