Robert Maudsley, a well-known serial killer in the UK, has initiated a hunger strike after being deprived of his PlayStation, TV, and reading materials by the prison officials. Having served close to 50 years behind bars, Maudsley's history of violence resulted in his placement in a specially constructed glass cell for extreme solitary confinement. His recent protest has garnered attention due to the extreme nature of his confinement and the drastic measures he has taken in response to the removal of his recreational privileges.
