Protesters in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday called on Governor Brown to do something about the state prison hunger strike, which is in its fourth week. The strike is led by inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison. They are protesting conditions and the criteria for being put in the so-called Security Housing Unit, where inmates are isolated. A lawyer for the inmates plans to ask a federal judge who oversees California prisons to stop putting mentally ill inmates in isolation.
