How #heat threatens lives in America’s #prisons
Prisons prioritize security over comfort. But concrete walls, steel doors, sealed windows, limited ventilation, lack of tree cover & outdated infrastructure converge to create dangerously hot conditions. Nearly 1.2 million people are housed in federal & state prisons across the nation.
#law #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather
reuters.com/graphics/USA-TEMPE…
Kim Perales reshared this.
Ufuoma Ovienmhada & Michael Krisch, researchers at the University of Arizona & the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia University, found in a study that 67.3% of 1,614 state & federal #prisons had at least one day where the average summer outdoor temperature was over 85°F between 2020 & 2023. Some facilities in California, Arizona & Nevada experienced at least 65 days where temperatures exceeded 85°F.
#law #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather #heat
#law #Climate #HumanRights #health
Prison advocates say the hot conditions amount to unfair treatment & excessive punishment. Current & formerly incarcerated individuals told Reuters in a series of interviews that they dreaded summers. One person said the heat was so oppressive it felt like they were “breathing under water.” Legislative & policy efforts have stalled or failed to address the problem, even as prison populations & temperatures rise.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather #heat
“A lot of people view incarcerated people as less than & not deserving of #humane #environmental conditions in the first place,” said Ovienmhada.
#Prisons are often built in places that are relatively #hot, secluded from areas where people don’t want them, said Bharat Venkat, director of the UCLA Heat Lab, an interdisciplinary research collective that studies #ThermalInequality.
Unlike others exposed to extreme #heat, incarcerated people don’t have access to the same modes of cooling – like fully functional air conditioning, unlimited access to water & ice or the ability to wear clothes made of breathable fabrics.
“It’s not about where it’s hotter, it’s really about where those impacts are felt most acutely,” said Venkat.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather
People of color [#POC] are disproportionately represented among the #US #prison population. At the end of 2022, #Black people comprised 32% of the federal & state prison population, but only 14.4% of the total US population. Experts attribute these disparities to a variety of factors, including #SystemicRacism in #policing practices & policies that disproportionately affect communities of color.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather #heat
Kim Perales reshared this.
In a June 2025 report, the #California Dept of Corrections & Rehabilitation [#CDCR] said that the cooling #infrastructure in its #prisons has degraded & become less effective, with #ClimateChange further exacerbating the problem. The report acknowledged that the buildings were built at a time when “the comfort level of the incarcerated population was not a consideration or priority.”
Kim Perales reshared this.
“Ensuring that CDCR facilities have adequate infrastructure is critical to the health & safety of the incarcerated population and staff,” said Mary Xjimenez, a spokesperson for #CDCR, in an emailed statement. The CDCR said it has $246 million in projects underway to address cooling at 5 institutions & is working on a statewide plan to address the problem.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather #heat
…Prisons create their own #UrbanHeatIsland effect, a phenomenon where built-up areas – like cities with little vegetation – have higher temperatures than their surrounding areas.
At #CorcoranStatePrison in the arid #SanJoaquinValley of central #California, the average outdoor summer #heat index — or how hot it feels to the human body — often exceeds 100°F.
In 2024, every single summer day hit a heat index of at least 85°F.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather
Built in 1988, the prison houses nearly 2,600 men, including Andre Peart, 57, who is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence in the minimum security section.
“I know we’re here to do our time. We shouldn’t have to worry about having a heat stroke or a heart attack,” Peart said.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #health #ExtremeWeather #heat
…Studies have shown rising temperatures & multi-day #HeatWaves, defined as days where the temperature is above the 90th percentile, contribute to an increase in #mortality in #prisons. Brown University epidemiologist Julianne Skarha estimated in 2023 that a 10 degree increase in summer temperature was associated with a 5.2% increase in prison deaths & suicides increased nearly 23% in the 3 days following an extreme #heat day.
Certain #medications – like the #BetaBlockers Peart takes to treat atrial fibrillation [#afib], a #heart condition that causes irregular heartbeats – make people more vulnerable to the adverse #health effects of extreme temperatures by affecting how they regulate their body temperature.
#law #prisons #ClimateChange #HumanRights #ExtremeWeather #heat
Maria Goellner, senior director of state policy at Families Against Mandatory Minimums, a nonpartisan nonprofit that advocates for #criminal #JusticeReform, said the #US #prison population is #aging, with #medical needs requiring #medication that makes them more susceptible to high temperatures.

"Trump paused student-loan forgiveness for nearly 2 million borrowers on income-based repayment plans."
BUT, in order to achieve his goal of making America more white by removing millions of #immigrants from the US, he's🚨forgiving the loans of people who go to work for #ICE.
