‘Grossly insufficient’: Judge blasts DOC-suggested fixes for Angola’s Farm Line

‘Grossly insufficient’: Judge blasts DOC-suggested fixes for Angola’s Farm Line
The Louisiana Department of Corrections is showing a “callous disregard for human health and safety” in its paltry response to a July court order, a federal judge found on Thursday.
At the beginning of July, U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ordered the DOC to improve conditions for “Farm Line” workers, prisoners laboring in extreme heat in the fields at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
Jackson’s temporary restraining order ordered prison officials to “take immediate measures to correct the glaring deficiencies in their heat-related policies.” Specifically, the prison needed to provide sufficient shade, rest, and equipment for the incarcerated men who are forced to work Angola’s Farm Line for pennies an hour.
After an appeal that narrowed Jackson’s original ruling, the case came back to Jackson. The DOC told the court that it had purchased some sunscreen and a single 10×10 pop-up tent to provide shade for around 20-30 laborers. “Grossly insufficient,” Jackson wrote.

I know we hate when the human dignity of living people is respected around here.
I think this is the part when you tell us how Christian and morally superior you are.

Right. Your job is to cosplay beavis and butthead, evidently.

Moral enough not to break the law so bad as to wind up in Angola.

You put so much faith in the state that you believe everyone it convicts is guilty?
I’ll take all the silent downvotes as a yes. Gotta love this “small-government, conservative” echo chamber. This post was edited on 8/18/24 at 6:58 pm

Why even post in this thread if you’re just trying to get my attention like a middle-schooler with a crush? I’m happily married and not interested in an immature loser who can’t even post a legitimate response to an article on a political discussion bord.

Why? Is that where all convicted felons belong?

These people lose their dignity when they kill, rape, assault, rob, etc other people.
Posted on 8/18/24 at 7:05 pm to LSU316
In your opinion, maybe. Does everyone who makes a mistake lose their human dignity?
Posted on 8/18/24 at 7:09 pm to 4cubbies
As long as someone is incarcerated, the government has the responsibility of their well-being. I doubt these laborers are in for capital murder. Working them to the point of heat exhaustion can be lethal. But maybe you all think the death penalty is appropriate for possession of marijuana and such.
