Candlelight Vigil for Teen Deaths in the California Youth Authority
7:00 PM - Frank Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA
Background: On January 19th, at 1:20pm, a California Youth Authority (CYA)
prison correctional officer found cellmates Durrell Feaster,18, and Deon
Whitfield,17, dead, hanging from bed sheets tied around their necks. Why
would two young men give up all hope in life? The CYA is an abyss of
violence and neglect. Recent reports expose horrible conditions such as
locking youth in 23-hour-a-day solitary confinement without cause for
months on end. Help us promote real rehabilitation, preventative programs,
and job opportunities for young people. We must stop the torture and
warehousing of our youth. Join Families for Books Not Bars, Death Penalty
Focus, community leaders, and youth across California as we come together
for healing, justice, and hope 100 days after the tragedy.
