AB The article discusses the use of solitary confinement in the U.S. prison system, focusing on hunger strike campaigns in 2011 and 2013 in California, in response to the use of isolation units, and denial of basic physical and mental health care. Topics include information on the historic Eastern State Penitentiary; the Security Housing Unit (SHU) of the Pelican Bay State Prison in California and supermax prisons; and an assessment of the social impact of the strikes.
