Update on Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald in California's Corcoran State Prison
Bill Quigley

🖨️ Print Article

 CorcoranTwo weeks ago we ran a story on Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, a political prisoner and former Black Panther imprisoned forty years in California.  Fitzgerald was refusing food and demanding transfer out of solitary confinement and full access to medical care.  We asked BAR readers and supporters to join those calling the prison and California elected officials, and inquire about Fitzgerald's condition.  As a result of their, and your calls Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald has been transferred out of solitary confinement and expects to be accorded necessary medical care.  We convey to all of you the thanks of his family and friends.  More information is available at http:www.frechip.org
