PONTIAC -- A hunger strike at the prison is losing support. Only 25-prisoners are still refusing to eat.

Last week, there were about 50-protesting living conditions. Some say it's too cold in their cells and complain they're not getting enough "cleaning supplies."

Prison officials say they're monitoring all of the inmates and everyone seems okay.
