23.08.2005 On August 10th, 1974, Eddie Nalon bled to death in a solitary confinement unit at Millhaven Maximum Security Prison when the emergency call button in his cell failed to work. An inquest into his death found that the call buttons in that unit had been deactivated by the guards. Later, there was another death in this same unit. The call buttons had not been repaired. Prisoners at Millhaven mark the anniversary of these deaths by fasting and refusing to work.
