High temperature hell?Foreign media: Individual prisons in the United States room temperature of 60 degrees, some prisoners died of heat stroke rescue

[Global Times special reporter Liu Haoran] A few days ago, the US prison administrative institution broke out a scandal: in the hot summer, some prisons staged a "high temperature hell" at a room temperature of 60 degrees.

According to the British "Independence" reported on the 27th, in the summer of 2011, 58 -year -old McColom was sent to Harchinus in Dallas, Texas, Harbins, and prisons in his prison. Hell '. "Due to the lack of refrigeration equipment, the prison has exceeded 37 degrees Celsius for several days in the near future. McColom, which was a bit obese, and had hypertension. Amazing 43 degrees, died of ineffective rescue in less than a week. His family immediately brought the prison to court. McCallom's encounter is by no means: 42 -year -old Philip served his sentence in Cofeld prison in Dezhou in 2018. The agency also did not install air conditioners. That summer was extremely hot, and more than 20 weather temperatures were above 43 degrees in June. Philip suffers from severe kidney disease. When he was released from prison, his kidney disease had been converted to advanced renal failure, and even treatment was only 40%of the survival probability of survival.

Texas was originally one of the "three major furnaces" in the United States. In recent years, it has been affected by global climate change. In some areas of the state, it is even more popular in summer. For prisons that lack refrigeration equipment, the survival conditions of the prisoners are becoming worse.

A comprehensive survey of the state's prison administration system shortly before the disaster reduction and recovery center of Meidian State University of Agricultural Engineering, disclosed a set of amazing data: there are 100 prison administrative institutions operated by Dezhou, and a total of 122,000 prisoners are detained. ; Compared with the 87%air -conditioning penetration rate in the United States, the state has only 30%of prisons installed with air conditioners. In the closed prison, room temperature exceeding 43 degrees Celsius has become a "normal", and even some prison room temperature once exceeded 65 degrees Celsius. The record of the Criminal Justice Bureau of Dezhou shows that since 1998, at least 23 prisoners in the state have died of heat stroke and related diseases; in 2018 alone, at least 79 prisoners in the state have suffered from "high temperature diseases" -the These are just the official "incomplete statistics", and how many people die and how many people infected with investigators can not even find it.

Compared with the "high temperature hell" in Texas, the Great Egent Prison in Georgia is more like a large "garbage dump". According to ABC recently (ABC), the psychologist Lamirez, a psychologist before the prison, is densely covered with mold on the wall of the prison. Whenever the water of the prison is blocked, the sewage pipe of the prison is blocked, causing the feces to flow back. Due to too many mice, the prison guards opened the door directly everywhere in order to save trouble, and let the wild cats come in to catch the rat, causing huge hidden safety hazards. The survey shows that most of the prison prisoners have long malnutrition for a long time, they ca n’t drink clean water, do n’t use sanitary products, and have nowhere to seek medical treatment. From 2012 to 2020, a total of 12 prisoners committed suicide.

Due to lax and corruption, various types of prohibited products in prison "free circulation", including various weapons and drugs. According to media disclosure, several prisoners in the prison have long been free to enter and exit through "authentic", and "purchased" mobile phones, cigarettes, drinks and even pistols and other supplies, and then returned from the original road to discovered by the local police until 2017. In Lamarez's view, the federal prison has lost the fundamental attribute of prison, "it is also nominal or 'prison".
