YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Inmates on a hunger strike over their prison conditions at Ohio's super max facility in Youngstown are getting some support from the community and a Civil Rights attorney.

Attorney Staughton Lynd delivered petitions to Warden David Bobby with the Ohio State Penitentiary at 1:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Local ministers, teachers and even people from other countries are among the more than 800 signatures on the petition.

The four inmates don't want to be locked down for 23 hours a day. It's part of their punishment for their roles in the 1993 Lucasville riots of which they were convicted.  The inmates are under conditions that keep them from being in the same space as another inmate.

All four inmates started the hunger strike about two weeks ago with only two remaining on it now.
