We’re escalating a campaign to amplify and protect incarcerated people at Red Onion & Wallens Ridge Prisons in Virginia.
PHASE 2 – URGENT: Two men at Red Onion are in medical crisis. Take action now. This campaign is rolling out in phases — each post covers **two people at a time** to maintain steady, sustained pressure on officials.
Incarcerated people are facing violence, medical neglect, and retaliation at the hands of VADOC staff. Some have attempted suicide after being denied reentry, others are being forced to endure inhumane conditions, hunger strikes, and racist or gendered abuse.
Virginia Department of Corrections and Governor Youngkin have retaliated against journalist and prisoner Kevin “Rashid” Johnson (#1007485) for exposing horrific abuses at Red Onion State Prison—where incarcerated men set themselves on fire to protest racism, brutality, and systemic lies.
