Some inmates at Clallam Bay Corrections Center in Washington have resumed a hunger strike, saying they are dissatisfied with a privilege system in their unit. Eleven people in the prison's Intensive Management Unit -- for ``out-of-control'' inmates who cannot live with the general population -- began refusing meals again Wednesday morning, Associate Superintendent Kathy Kaatz said Thursday. They have not indicated how long they plan to continue striking, Kaatz said. The strike has shifted among prisoners in the Intensive Management Unit, which houses 124 people, since Dec. 31, when more than 20 people refused their meals for about five days. Nineteen others began refusing meals Jan. 6, but most had quit by Jan. 10, Kaatz said. |
