Prisoners Are Striking to Improve Food for the Incarcerated | Eater

"An April riot at this maximum-security prison resulted in seven deaths after guards reportedly waited more than four hours to intervene, prompting authorities to place medium- and maximum-security facilities across the state on lockdown. Those lockdowns have intensified existing complaints about food—limited portions, lack of fresh fruit and reduced access to commissary items—and months later some housing units remained on restricted status, exacerbating weight loss and other health concerns among people inside." - Andrew Urevig
