IOWA PARK, Texas (AP) — Nearly 40 inmates on a hunger strike since Christmas at a prison in North Texas have ended their protest over alleged limited recreational time and food portions.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice says the 37 inmates at the Allred Unit in Iowa Park accepted meals again Wednesday. All are serving time in administrative segregation — isolated from the general population because they're deemed a security risk or danger to others.
