1, 800 Prisoners in Arizona Jails on Hunger Strike: Sheriff Retaliates with County Wide Lock Down
1,800 prisoners in Arizona jails have been hunger striking to protest food and other conditions under Sheriff Arpaio there. They've been intermittently striking for the past two weeks to demand better food.

The Sheriff retaliated yesterday placing the majority of the county jails on lock down and denying all prisoners their phone calls and visitations.

The Sheriff has been coming under fire for his actions under the federal 287g program that enables local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws. Arpaio has used this program to deputize hundreds of volunteer posse members, including known white supremacists, and set up ski masked check-points and round ups in Latino and indigenous communities. 5,000 people marched in February to demand that former Arizona Governor and now Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano end Arpaio's 287g program.
