Shine White Launches Hunger Strike Against Prison Conditions

After being transferred to Scotland Correctional Prison, inmate Shine White began a hunger strike on February 24, 2026, to protest inhumane living conditions. Last November, he had already undertaken a similar action (see our article). He is particularly concerned about his unsanitary cell, whose ceiling is covered in black mold (causing untreated health problems), as well as the confiscation of his tablet, an essential tool for accessing his mail and legal aid. A long-time activist who has been a victim of violence in the past for denouncing the prison system, he is calling on his supporters to contact prison authorities to demand an end to these reprisals and the restoration of his fundamental rights.
