SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah — Correctional officers discovered large amounts of commissary food in inmates’ cells participating in a hunger strike at the Utah State Prison that started Friday, officials said Monday. As of Monday evening, 42 inmates at the prison continue to engage in the hunger strike. The inmates are all documented gang members located in the Uinta Facility, a maximum-security area. The Utah Department of Corrections received a letter from those on strike on Friday, which listed six demands, including the relocation of gang leaders currently housed in one of the maximum-security units.
