12 prisoners from the Virgin Islands being held at Wallens Ridge State Prison
in Virginia begin hunger strike on November 1, 2001!

backround: The Virgin Islands (V.I.) had, before the these past couple of
months, been renting out cells in the Untied States for its own overcrowded
prison population. This has been going on for decades and the V.I. has run up a
huge bill with the U.S. So the V.I. decided to bring all its prisoners back
home. There is a catch: those prisoners the V.I. deemed to be too dangerous were
sent to the Commonwealth of Virginia for further holding.

On November 1, 2001 12 prisoners at the Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone
Gap, Virginia began a hunger strike in protest of “the capricious and unjust
transfer of 15 Virgin Islands Prisoners to this conservative and bigoted run
