California Families to Abolish Solitary Confinement (CFASC) is an organization whose mission is to stop the inhumane treatment of prisoners within the California Penal System, especially those held in solitary confinement and administrative housing units.  Our loved ones have been incarcerated, in many cases for decades, under conditions widely recognized as torture. We came together in July 2011 to support the statewide prisoner hunger strike demanding an end to barbaric and unconstitutional conditions in solitary units. Our ultimate vision is an end to solitary confinement.
