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 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.“ Democracy Now! airs an audio statement from one of the Pelican Bay prisoners, and interviews three guests: Dorsey Nunn, co-founder of „All of Us or None“ and executive director of Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, and one of the mediators between the prisoners on hunger strike and the California Department of Corrections
