Thousands of California inmates have joined a hunger strike that began last week at Pelican Bay State Prison, officials said.
Prisoners at the specialized maximum security unit at Pelican Bay began refusing meals on July 1 in protest of their conditions.
The Security Housing Unit segregates prisoners from the general population who have been determined to be prison gang members or have committed a serious crime while in prison.
Some who refused state meals paid for food at the prison canteen or ate meals in visiting rooms.

And I always thought a hunger strike meant not eating. This is just selective dining.

I spent 10 years in California prisons and know the Pelican Bay SHU personally. I wrote a drug war novel Roll Call by Glenn Langohr to show the public the path we are on by incarcerating petty criminals is only breeding bigger ones who are displaced from society when they are released. The U.S is not the leaders of the free world; we are the leaders of the incarcerated world!

Hunger Striking is peaceful protest!
Would you rather have it otherwise?!
Many Strikers are not eating anything! and going into 3 weeks!!!
This photo is misleading, it appears to be in a restaurant for sure!!
A fast can vary,you have to get some nourishment, that would be foolish to risk life just to get simple humane needs met when they should already be provided for.I have not ate for 4 days due to a illness and I got very weak, I could hardly stand or walk!
Hunger Striking is missing out on meals,it must have sense to it! for the meaning to address what is HUMANE!
Give humans respect for all humanity!
