The Guardian credits Prison Radio for breaking the story about alarming incidents of self-harm by inmates at Virginia’s Red Onion state prison. The protest is a response to the harsh and inhumane conditions at the facility, including racial and physical abuse, medical neglect, excessive solitary confinement, and inedible food. The Virginia Legislative Black caucus has condemned the conditions and called for an independent investigation.
