Extreme heat in prisons becomes climate concern
Original: Climate Extreme Heat Prisons
Reports are focusing on the dangers of extreme heat inside prisons, where incarcerated people often have limited access to cooling, ventilation or adequate hydration as temperatures rise. The coverage frames prisons as an overlooked group in climate adaptation, with heat posing serious health risks for both inmates and staff in facilities not built for increasingly common heatwaves.
Why now: Rising global temperatures are drawing attention to heat risks faced by vulnerable populations, including prisoners.
