(LA Daily News) Jay Leno, together with Gloria Steinem and other celebrities, have condemned the isolation of some 4,500 California prison gang members, their associates and serious offenders to control violence–a practice that has sparked a hunger strike by hundreds of inmates.

Isolation units “serve a vital role in state prisons, keeping staff and other inmates safe from the same violent gangs leading the hunger strike and terrorizing communities across California,” State Corrections spokesperson Deborah Hoffman said.
