Che Nieves was in Attica Prison through the summer of 1971, when the tensions were building with Commissioner Oswald, so when the rebellion exploded on September 9th, he wasn't too surprised. In this video he talks about the conditions that led to the rebellion.

This interview is from the Attica is All of Us events in 2021 that marked the 50th anniversary of the rebellion. For more videos please go to the Attica Brothers Foundation YouTube page.
