Yet intense heat has so affected imprisoned Louisiana adults that officials have had to step up suicide watches. At the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, a U.S. Department of Justice investigation found indoor temperatures reaching 145 degrees last year. In Texas, where 70% of prison living quarters reportedly lack air conditioning, incarceration becomes execution, as climate change drives already blistering summer temperatures even higher.
In what sense is locking people in 145° cells not torture?
That is crazy hot. And obviously very bad. I don’t know the right term for that (negligence?), but it is not torture, just like with the child in the car.
Torture is with intent to get something etc., this here are “simply” shitty people that risk the health of others to… save money?
Uh… What? Can you make an even more outrageously bad headline?
Wtl tho?
Wtl?
Where’s the lie?
That it is not a torture chamber and that climate change has nothing to do with it.
Simply install AC and there can be all the climate change with zero impact in houses.
Building prisons shitty is not climate change. And while heat is crap, it is not torture.
Have you ever been in a prison?
Prisons were built for pre-climate change conditions.
If heat can’t be torture, how do children left in cars die?
Not in a prison we discuss here.
Installing AC later on is no problem.
Just because something can be harmful does not make it torture.
