Protests Grow in Solidarity with California Prisoners as Hunger Strikes Enter Third Week

July 18, 2011 in News

Thousands of inmates in at least 13 prisons across
California’s troubled prison system have been on hunger
strike for almost two weeks. Many are protesting in
solidarity with inmates held in Pelican Bay State
Prison, California’s first super-maximum security
prison, over what prisoners say are cruel and unusual
conditions in “Secure Housing Units.”
