This past week, I had the opportunity to sit down with Kerry Keith, a seventh-year Ph.D. candidate at UC San Diego’s department of communication. During our conversation, she explained her research on the quieter forms of resistance in California state prisons. “We were a cadre of like-minded people who were thinking about the limitations as well as the coolness of what we were doing,” Keith said. Her third case relies on oral history interviews, primarily examining the 2011 and 2013 California prison hunger strikes. Based on her case studies, Keith concludes that resistance inside California prisons is much more than the general public’s perception.
