Apology The editors of The Fire Inside wish to extend a profound apology to Jeri Becker at CIW in Frontera, CA. In the last issue we published her original artwork, "Liberty," but credited it to someone else. We sincerely regret our error and any confusion we caused. Puerto Rican Women Prisoners of War Resist 1998 marks 100 years of Puerto Rican resistance to colonization of their island by the United States. The Fire Inside wishes to recognize the courageous resistance of five Puerto Rican women prisoners of war-- Dylcia Pagan, Lucy and Alicia Rodriguez, Alejandrina Torres, and Carmen Valentin-- who have been incarcerated for 18 years because they believed in independence and fought against US rule of their homeland. Corcoran Whistle Blowers The Fire Inside wants to note the women and men who worked at Corcoran prison and testified at recent legislative hearings. At great risk to themselves they exposed the violence orchestrated and covered up by the prison administration. Their humanity finally broke through their loyalty to a corrupt system. Their act is what needs to happen on a wider scale. Last updated January 6, 2004 08:03 AM |
