I truly do feel bad for prison populations because they’re the last group anyone is concerned about. “Can’t take the heat? sHOuLdN’t dO tHE CrIMe.” Yeah, okay. But let’s not forget a hefty chunk of this group are statistically wrongfully convicted; another chunk are non-violent offenders and a product of draconian laws. And despite all that, it tends to be a mark of a civilized society to see how they treat the worst among them. Their rights should not be disenfranchised. This is classic 8th Amendment cruel & unusual punishment.

Unfortunately it’s quite common. If you knew how often 8th amendment arguments get thrown out for the treatment being unequivocally cruel but also part of standard practice…
Such a sick system where punishment can be as cruel as you like, as long as being cruel in that specific way is the norm 🤬
Prison officials tell ABC15 that if temperatures exceed 85 degrees, then ice is free.
How generous…
Holy fuck, they normally charge them $2 for ice…and it’s so hot it’s mostly melted anyway.
ice is free
Lucky for those guys whose street name is “Ice”!
Or, for another joke…
If temperatures exceed 85 degrees, then ice is free.
The ice has long since melted by that point… it’s almost steam!
American after the revolution:
“Fuck kings, and fuck their oppressive jails that tortured people.”
America after Trump:
“We should have a king and torture people.”
