Oprah Witnesses Prison Violence In 60 Minutes Report
Oprah Winfrey visited California's Pelican Bay State Prison to report on conditions in the isolation unit that critics charge constitutes torture.
In the upcoming 60 Minutes segment, prisoners are seen screaming in anguish and attempting to harm themselves by pounding their heads against walls and cell doors.
The warden later denied prison conditions had anything to do with the incident, pointing to more than a dozen lawsuits filed by prisoners citing 'cruel and inhumane punishment' because of Winfrey's presence. "It's bad enough being in prison, then Oprah? They were begging for the chair."
