The oppressive heat in Texas is more than just uncomfortable — it has turned downright deadly.
Texas has refused to air condition about two-thirds of prisons in the state, subjecting nearly 100,000 inmates to utterly cruel and unusual punishment. According to a recent lawsuit over the matter, dozens of inmates die every year, cooked to death in their cells.
Texas temperatures regularly rise above 100°F (38°C), meaning any facilities lacking basic AC become hellish, putting inhabitants at severe risk of heat-related illnesses and death.
Please sign this petition to demand that authorities prioritize the installation of air conditioning in their facilities and end the torturous heat for inmates.
