Officers and staff in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities endure dangerously high temperatures without adequate ventilation or air conditioning. It is not uncommon to have multiple days of triple-digit temperatures during a Texas summer. These unbearable heat conditions pose serious risks to the saftey and health of officers and staff.
This is unacceptable. Texas legislators need to be made aware that their constituents want them to act now to put an end to these cruel and inhumane conditions for EVERYONE.
Connect with your lawmakers and tell them TDCJ facilities need permanent air-conditioning systems!
