The 88 degrees is the magic number that these activities want to use. They have tried this number before and lost.
Here is an article form 2018 where the US 5th Circuit said that death row didn’t even need to make sure it always below 88 inside.

Can you share just what exactly you expect a prison that serves the type of criminals that Angola serves is supposed to look like?
Do you really think Angola should be providing desk jobs paying $50k a year, in AC, with 3 weeks vacation?

They probably have access to hats, clean water and sunscreen, not to mention compensation
Well yeah, they aren’t in prison.
I don’t know why this stumps you. We’re you under the misconception that one doesn’t lose some rights as a result of a conviction?

halt operations of the Farm Line any time the heat index rises above 88 degrees.
What a bunch of pussies! I grew up on a farm and worked many days putting in rice levee gates with a shovel or walking polypipe when the heat index was above 100 degrees.

We get 3 day break with 88 or 89 degree weather and right back at almost touching 100 and it’s only June but I’m not a criminal and I got AC

Do you understand how deeply flawed the US judicial system is? Do you know just how many people are sitting in prison who are innocent?
I guess you believe Trump actually committed 30+ felonies.

Less than 1%.

Far less than people that are guilty who are NOT sitting in prison yet should be.

For what it's worth. According to wiki in 2010. 71% of inmates were serving a life sentence.

And this is political....how?
Who runs prisons?
Or do you not think government organizations run by political appointees are political?
Is incarceration not a matter of government policy?

I think the disconnect between us is that you are under the impression that the state never gets anything wrong and always prosecutes and convicts guilty people using ethical practices.
I don’t operate under that assumption.
