Madison, WI - 2 Wisconsin prison inmates, Cesar de Leon, 34, and Laron Mckinley, 61, in a hunger strike are being forced fed. WI Department of Corrections (DOC) spokesman Tristan Cook confirmed, that 100 inmates are currently in solitary confinement. The inmates in hunger strike are protesting the prolonged solitary confinement, which is illegal in the U.S., but the WI DOC continues to keep inmates in prolonged solitary confinement for years causing irreversible mental disabilities for victimized inmates.
