A nationwide strike by prison inmates is set to end Sunday, 19 days after it began.

Since Aug. 21, some prisoners have chosen to forgo meals, organize peaceful sit-in protests, refuse to work and halt commissary spending. Meanwhile, allies on the outside stood in solidarity with the protest by marching, chanting and pressuring government officials to take action against what rally organizers call “modern-day slavery.”

While poor wages for inmates in public and federal jails along with racial bias in sentencing and poor prison conditions were among the complaints raised by inmates, the impetus for the strike was an incident that took place at Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina earlier this year where at least seven inmates were killed.

Since the first day of the call to action, reports of protests and other occurrences behind bars have trickled out through videos recorded by inmates, accounts from family members, statements by prison reform activists and statements from prison officials.

It’s not known how many incarcerated people took part in the boycott.

The Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, a labor union for prisoners, said that reports of prisoner participation have come from at least 14 states thus far.

I’m hunger striking right now.”
