California Prison Hunger Strike
Prisoners in a third of California prisons have been on a hunger strike to protest solitary confinement rules and other inhumane treatment. The protest began on July 1 when prisoners in the Pelican Bay Secured Housing Unit (SHU) began refusing meals.
The protesting prisoners grew in number to include other institutions, apparently becoming most active in Pelican Bay, Corcoran State Prison, and the California Correctional Institute at Tehachapi.

Who Are They Fooling?
...will add audio later...
When I was fifteen I dreamed about being 21
Couldn't wait for that freedom
My own place would be so much fun
But when I left my gardenland of childhood bliss
You know I never thought I
Would have so much to miss...
Chorus:
Why didn't anybody tell me
All those things I needed to know
Why did they fill me
With meaningless innuendos
I coulda done so much better
