The Real USA - Texas prisons the hottest in the nation

As many as 14 inmates have died from the extreme heat in Texas prisons, which commonly reaches 100° Farenheit and may go as high as 150°. In today's program we meet one ex prisoner who endured temperatures of 130°. "It was like living in an oven," he said. Texas has no standards or laws to control the temperatures. Prison guards have also protested the conditions, but authorities have shown no interest in adopting humane measures. teleSUR
