A South Australian prisoner who has been on a hunger strike for two weeks has been taken to hospital, but details of his condition have not been released. Anthony John Smith began his hunger strike on July 3 when he was moved from Yatala Labour Prison in Adelaide to Port Augusta Prison, 308km northwest of the city — with his family facing a 7-hour round trip to visit him.

“The importance of maintaining these family connections cannot be overstated, especially considering our children’s special needs and the significant role a present father plays in their lives.” 7NEWS understands Smith was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital on Wednesday. His family said they are desperately trying to find out more about his health.
