ANGELICA CAMACHO is a 6th year graduate student in the Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, Riverside. Her current research deals with the organizing efforts around the Pelican Bay California Prisoner Hunger Strikes by incarcerated people and their loved ones. Through her work she engages incarcerated people and their families’ theorizing on social transformation and places it in conversation with previous visions of radical revolutionary social movements. She examines the ways prisoners have used their bodies, spirit, and mental strength against the prison apparatus to create a rupture in the process that relegates them to property. In addition, she explores how the criminalization of Latino communities has contributed to the rise of the prison industrial complex in California and an anesthetization to the brutality of Pelican Bay State Prison’s Security Housing Units (SHU).
