Inmates known to be hunger striking at this time

"I stopped eating on December 27, 2006. The first 3 days my body has battled with the lack of food. With each day I feel my body growing weaker and weaker. Day 6 I slept all day as my mind carried me away to far away places where I witnessed death and destruction, always sadness. I wake to deal with a bad reaction from lack of food. I'm extremely dizzy, and a strong pain assaults my stomach. My body became very warm and excessively uncomfortable. To cool my body, I lay on the floor allowing the coolness to relax my body. I've gone from 180 pounds to 160 in 10 days. There are ten other prisoners involved, Patrick Knight, Gayland Bradford, Steven Woods, Reginald Blanton, Carlton Turner, Ryan Dickson, William Mason, and Stephen Moody. I'm not sure how long these guys are planning to go, or how much weight they have lost. Some are only going 5, 10, or 15 days. Myself, Stephen Woods, and Stephen Moody are planning to go all the way. As of January 7, 2007 I weigh 159 pounds."

We urge everyone to send cards, or letters to these inmates.
