Texas Prisoners Are on Hunger Strike

[Nithavela]

Prisoners in Texas are in the second week of a hunger strike to demand an end to the practice of keeping inmates in solitary confinement for much, much longer than the 15 days that the United Nations considers torture. One of their main demands is that "under no circumstances will any prisoner remain in solitary confinement for more than 10 years," the Guardian reports.
