the cdcr's failure to meet the demands of the pelican state bay prison hunger strikers in 2011 resulted in the aforementioned 2013 california prisoner hunger strike. similar to the pelican bay state prison hunger strike is the organizing of january 2011 in the supermax ohio state penitentiary, where prisoners bomani shakur, siddique abdullah hasan, jason robb, and namir abdul mateen began a hunger strike “to protest what they call their harsh mistreatment under solitary confinement”. these prisoners decided to start rejecting their meals until they could be relocated from solitary confinement to death row where their treatment as prisoners would improve. another example took place in fall of 2010, when prisoners throughout georgia's prison system organized a strike in opposition to violations of the us constitution 8th amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment for minute infractions of rules. inmates throughout the state, in facilities like rogers state prison and hays state prison engaged in a “self-imposed lockdown” to incite action from the georgia department of corrections in meeting their demands. similar to other prison strikes demanding systemic change in the policing and policies of prisons like the pelican state bay hunger strike, this self-imposed lockdown strike has reached “across multiple facilities and across racial and factional lines”.
