He requests his name not be known. He said not only inmates but Staff as well, complain of the excessively hot condition within the cells and their wings. The prison turned their furnaces on and it is 80 degrees outside, making inside cell heat 90 to 110 degrees. Death Row inmates at McAlester prison are suffering the following conditions described at this very moment as I write. So I am asking urgently, you email or write the warden at McAlester and the Department of Corrections in Oklahoma to correct this inhumane condition for prisoners on Death Row.
Microorganisms live and proliferate under special environmental conditions.
Two conditions they like are warmth and darkness. Prisons typically provide these two breeding requirements within their walls, and especially on Death row wings. In addition, prisons turn heat on and up when it's 80 degrees outside, bringing the temperature within cells to 90 and 100 degrees as is the case at McAlester currently. Now it's true bacteria do not grow well with high heat, but inmates who live 24 hours a day, for example, in 90 degree temperatures with no air circulation become more susceptible to disease and infection. I am also suggesting, if any of you live in Oklahoma or near that state, please write an article on these conditions and have it published in the newspapers to help public awareness of these intolerable conditions that humans, inmates or not, are subjected to while in prison.
