New York Prisoners Starve For AtticaāNot Their Kind of Feast
Every September 13 since 1971, New York prisoners stage a hunger strike recalling the infamous Attica prison uprisingāa seething stand against conditions that spawned 43 deaths and endless paperwork. Though many incarcerated resist food like it's last year's mystery meat, this ritualās popularity is tanking faster than morale during lockdown. The tradition is literally on life support as fewer inmates partake, turning a historic rebellion into a dietary decision more motivational than militant. If irony ran a prison kitchen, this would be it: chanting freedom through absent forks, while prison guards likely snack in the break roomājustice, neatly plated.
