Mafundi should link here
Richard Lake, who went by the name Mafundi, (1940-2018)[1] was an organizer against police brutality in Alabama who was sentenced to life in prison in 1983.[2][3] He was one of the founders of Inmates for Action.[4][5]
Richard Lake was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1940.[6]
In 1983 he was sentenced to life under a habitual offender statute?[7] Lake, along with fellow Atmore-Holman inmate Johnny Harris led a work strike, which subsequently transformed into a rebellion following the death of a guard.[8][9]
He was interviewed on video.[10]
He was admitted to the infirmary of Donaldson Correctional Facility where he died on January 21, 2018.[6][9]
Sentenced to or required to do "hard labor"? He was released? He died in prison? I'm seeing come conflicting accounts. Seems he died in prison? What were is earlier crimes that were used to qualify him as a habitual offender?
