RantCrush Top 5: July 22, 2016

I know, I know. Why should you care? I’ll tell you why: in Texas, the indoor heat index frequently exceeds 100 degrees and currently over 120,000 beds don’t have air conditioning. Austin trial lawyers Jeff Edwards and Scott Medlock explore this injustice further in an article written for Time.com, citing a prisoner who died after his body temperature rose to 109.4 degrees. 

Today, many prisoners are at risk of dying or falling ill from overheating in their prison cells. And the risks can increase when you count the inmates’ pre-existing health conditions.
