What can we assume of the general health and condition of prisoners mistreated to such an extent they've embarked on a hunger strike in protest though?

We can check that after 4 years in prison Bobby Sands weighted 155lbs.

Check 5 demands 9f the hunger strike.

Nothing about food or medical treatment.

British prison certainly was no joke (solitary confinement as a punishment i.e) but not exactly a gulag.
