March Political Prisoner Birthdays

Political prisoners have often several many years in prison for their actions in support of liberation movements. Several have birthdays in March, including:

Dahariki has spent the last 42 years in prison — 34 of them in solitary!

Ruchell Cinque Magee
#A92051
CSP Corcoran
3A-02-131L
Box 3461
Corcoran, California 93212

Ruchell Cinque Magee has been locked up since 1963. Politicized in prison, he later participated in the Marin County Courthouse Rebellion, the attempted liberation of political prisoner George Jackson. He has worked tirelessly as a jailhouse lawyer, working on his own case and helping many other prisoners win their freedom. He had been in L.A. for 6 months when he and his cousin Leroy got in a fight over a $10 bag of marijuana. In court, the two ended up with trumped up charges of kidnapping and robbery and he was given life in prison.
