It is approximately 90 degrees outside today and the air conditioning down our wing is broken. The maintenance guy isn't coming until Monday. It's at least a good 90 degrees higher in here than outside, maybe more. We are forced to stay in here during count(sp?) times and at night as well. I'm sitting here sweating balls and I feel as if I'm about to have a heat stroke.
They won't let us open a window even if there are barbed wire fences all around the unit. Last night, I literally thought I might pass out in the heat and never awake. Other inmates around me sleep in the nude because they don't even care anymore who sees them in this heat. Two people in my wing went to the hospital because their asthma was acting up - that and because there would be air conditioning over there.
All I can say is, this is cruel and unusual torture. It's borderline unlawful. I feel like crying or ripping my hair out. Someone better fix this air conditioning soon or let us open a window. I can tolerate prison, but I'm not quite sure about surviving in an oven.
