Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph C. S. Cometti, Asst. Atty. Gen., Charleston, for respondents.

HARSHBARGER, Justice:

Jesse White is a murderer serving a life sentence without mercy in our State Penitentiary at Moundsville. He began a hunger strike on August 3, 1981, to protest conditions there, has lost in excess of 100 pounds, but has not suffered serious physical deterioration. Prison officials have announced that they will force-feed White to prevent his death; White has told us he would rather die for his cause than be fed.1
