Rikers Island inmates plot hunger strike over poor conditions ahead of Biden’s

Fed up inmates at Rikers Island are planning another hunger strike over the deplorable conditions at the lockup — in hopes of raising enough attention that “some of us can go home, ’cause living here ain’t it!” The Post has learned.

A handwritten note was secretly circulated among inmates urging them to go on hunger strike ahead of President Biden’s planned trip to the Big Apple later this week.

“All gangsters, gentlemen and stand up individuals, the courts and DOC are violating us every day, and our families are suffering for it as well,” reads the letter, which sources said was distributed in food carts to inmates at Rikers’ Robert N. Davoren Complex.

“Courts are violating due process rights, giving us ransoms insted of bails [sic]!” the letter obtained by The Post reads. “What happen [sic] to bail reform?”

The screed, whose author is not known, accuses officials with the city Department of Correction of “messing with our mail, visits, recreation, medical, law library, commissary, living conditions” and also complains of mold in the lockup.

“No matter if your [sic] gang-affiliated or neutral, were [sic] in this together!” it says.

The letter vows to outdo a hunger strike at RNDC earlier this month, when about 200 inmates refused meals — part of the recent turmoil at the beleaguered city-run jail complex. Detainees instead, however, still ate commissary snacks while on strike.

“This time we need everyone to make this count!” the letter says. “Lawyers are trying to get Biden to the Island, let’s do our part! (If we peacefully protest) like Martin Luther King, or Gandhi [sic].

“Through hunger strike, we can get some attention, and hopefully some of us can go home, ’cause living here ain’t it! So respectfully (no violence) because it’s gonna justify their f—kery. Let’s start making a difference.”

Inmate kitchen workers helped circulate the message, which indicated that the strike would start Jan. 29, according to sources. It’s unclear if it ever began.

“So, the inmate workers put the note in the food carts and passed [it] around to each house, spreading the word,” the source said. “And then we started seeing them laying around. We are trying to figure out who [wrote it].”

Rikers Island, which houses 10 jails, has been beset by problems, including staff shortages and an uptick in inmate violence.
