Hunger strike: Pelican Bay inmate demands

Or­gan­izers of the statewide pris­on protest that began Monday are con­fined in the Se­cur­ity Hous­ing Unit at Pel­ic­an Bay pris­on, in a wing where lead­ers of pris­on gangs are typ­ic­ally held. Two of the or­gan­izers are plaintiffs in a fed­er­al class-ac­tion law­suit against the state over sol­it­ary con­fine­ment con­di­tions. This state­ment of de­mands was provided by in­mate law­yers.
