QUESTION: one-day hunger strike at INS detention center in Los Angeles in 2000?
Submitted by Anonymousy on Thu, 01/31/2008 - 9:58pm.In August 2000, during or around the time of the Democratic National Convention, male and female detainees at the San Pedro Service Processing Center (in downtown Los Angeles) staged a one-day hunger strike to protest the center's conditions. According to an interview with one of the detainees, some of their demands were met and there was some media coverage. Where would I find past media coverage about the hunger strike and/or what conditions were changed because of the hunger strike?
