Climate change making US prisons dangerously hot, report warns
Original: Climate Change Is Turning Prisons Full of Human Beings Into Industrial-Scale Air Fryers
Climate change is pushing temperatures inside prisons to dangerous levels, with crowded, poorly ventilated facilities turning into life-threatening heat traps for incarcerated people. The report compares overheated prisons to industrial-scale ovens and highlights how inmates often lack air conditioning or any way to escape extreme heat. Advocates say the issue underscores how climate change hits vulnerable and overlooked populations hardest, and calls are growing for heat mitigation measures in correctional facilities.
Why now: Rising summer temperatures are drawing fresh attention to the lack of cooling and heat protections for incarcerated people.
