2016 U.S. prison strike is a prison work stoppage that began on September 9, 2016, the 45th anniversary of the Attica uprising.[1] The strike involves an estimated 24,000 prisoners in 24 states, the largest prison strike in U.S. history.[2] Organizations involved in coordinating the strike include the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee[3] and the Free Alabama Movement.
