Almost 30 women who are being held in a Texas immigration facility went on a hunger strike this week to protest both their imprisonment and treatment.
According to Grassroots Leadership, a civil rights organization that seeks to eradicate for-profit private prisons and jail facilities, 27 women are participating in a hunger strike at the T Hutto Detention Center in Taylor, Texas. The organization announced on their website that the women have been on the strike since Wednesday and only have one demand — immediate release.
