Milwaukee: Calls Needed as Hunger Strike Reaches Critical Point

From Dying to Live

The DOC is now force feeding the LaRon McKinley and Cesar Deleon after 72 hours , when they are at brink of death from dehydration. The sporadic force feeding in itself is dangerous and can lead to a condition called “refeeding syndrome”, “”the shifting of electrolytes and fluid balance increases cardiac workload and heart rate. This can lead to acute heart failure. Oxygen consumption is also decreased which strains the respiratory system” which can cause sever damage or death. The water in WCI is polluted with high lead levels . This is impossible to drink on an empty stomach. When Cesar tried to drink it , he vomited. We have asked that he and LaRon be given bottled water with no response. full press release here and below-(scroll down)
