SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 Utah) - The Department of Corrections says as of Tuesday all 42 inmates are still participating in an organized hunger strike at Utah State Prison. The inmates, "all documented gang members housed in the Uinta 2 maximum-security unit," began the strike on Friday. Prison officials have began reducing privilege levels of inmates participating in the "disturbance." The result of the decrease in privileges will vary from inmate to inmate, but include loss of personal television privileges, a decrease in the amount they may spend each week on Commissary or what they may buy, and removal of some property (Commissary, televisions) from their cells. Prison officials will continue to offer the inmates meal trays as regularly scheduled. On Tuesday, four inmates accepted a breakfast meal tray. Two inmates with pre-existing health conditions were offered and accepted nutritional drinks. Read More. |
