dbo:abstract
  • The 2018 U.S. prison strike was a series of work stoppages and hunger strikes in prisons across the United States that began on August 21 and ended on September 9. The strike was conducted at least in part in response to the April 2018 prison riot at Lee Correctional Institution, which killed seven inmates and was the deadliest prison riot in the U.S. in the past 25 years. The start and end dates of the strike have symbolic meaning as they were planned to coincide with the 47th anniversary of the death of George Jackson, who was shot in an escape attempt on August 21, 1971, and the Attica Prison riot, which occurred on September 9, 1971. It was claimed that suspected strike participants and leaders were punished with solitary confinement, removing communication privileges, and prison transfers. (en)
