by People United Against Joe's Jails Thursday, Jun. 24, 2004 at 11:13 AM

A solidarity rally has been called for Saturday morning in response to the hunger strike happening in Durango Jail. Read the article for all the information.

WHAT:
Are you sick of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his gestapo goon squads?
Sick of his poor treatment of county inmates and violations of human rights?
Sick of his love of the media spotlight at the expense of human life?
Sick of the tales of brutality and at the hands of his deputies and guards, on our streets and in his jails?
Sick of the cover-ups and lies?
Sick of the two meals a day served in county jails(some of the food unfit for human consumption)?
Are you as sick of him and his policies as the inmates in Durango Jail?

Durango Jail inmates went on a hunger strike Thursday morning to take collective action against the poor treatment they receive from Sheriff Joe and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) in the county’s jails. The inmates are demanding that the jail serve three meals a day, as it stands, county inmates serve two meals a day, and for some inmates, such as diabetics, that is a dangerously low amount of food.

If you’re sick of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County’s treatment of inmates, then join us, People United Against Joe’s Jails, this Saturday at 9:30 AM in front of the Durango Jail in Phoenix.

WHEN: 9:30 AM, Saturday, June 26

WHERE: Durango Jail is located on Gibson Lane, just south of Durango St., inbetween 27th Ave and 35th Ave in West Phoenix.
