Austin NPR station had a story about men dying of the heat in Texas prisons this morning:
“There are 109 prisons [in Texas]. There are very, very few with air conditioning. The heat index in some of these prisons … could go up to 150 degrees. Due to that extreme heat, people die. Since 2007, at least 14 inmates died in Texas prisons due to extreme heat. Imagine, it’s not only that you are with that extreme heat; you don’t have access to cold water. Many times you don’t have access to ice … for sure, you don’t have access to areas where there is air conditioning.”
Note to self: get busted in Arizona.
on Thanksgiving.
I like how he wanted to charge them a dollar for meals that he bragged about only costing 40-60 cents or so. Does he ever think at all?

I think I saw this "Prison Diet" on Dr. Oz.
They eat better than I do half the time, and I'm a free man!
Perhaps the Prison Diet is the next Food Stamp Diet for insensitive people…
