Prisoners, Pt. 3 - It's getting hot in here...

September 26, 2023 • 28 mins

In Part 3 of our series on “Prisoners'', we are talking about the effect that heat has on people who are incarcerated. We understand the impacts that heatwaves and overall climate change are having in the general population and among certain vulnerable communities. But what is it doing to the people who live in prisons? What is happening to them?

We talk about it on this episode. Stay tuned!.
