There are approximately 156,000 inmates currently confined in TDCJ, a third or more of which are indigent. Texas CURE is 501 c3 nonprofit inmate/inmate family support group. Grits readers can donate to the Fan Program here: http://www.gofundme.com/TEXAS-PRISONERS-NEED-FANS<br /><br />Water shortages like the one currently plaguing the Roberson and Middleton units in Abilene occur at one unit or another every summer. Some shortages are caused by insufficient local water reserves. Others, on the older units, are caused by dilapidated plumbing systems. Last week Texas CURE received a notice that had been posted on day-room bulletin boards at the Eastham unit near Lovelady, TX: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ALL DRINKING WATER MUST BE BOILED. Problem with that is that the "hot pots" sold in the commissary only reach 146 degrees or less, and indigent inmates do not have hot pots. One inmate reported that when he explained to a lieutenant that hot pots were incapable of boiling water, the lieutenant replied, "They get hot enough to kill whatever is in the water." Does that include norovirus that plagues several units every year?<br /><br /><br />Michael W.

They are receiving donated fans in Henderson county to keep those animals cool during upcoming heat expectations due to not having air conditioning in their facility. TDCJ doesn't give a damn about any of their inmates health, its a money machine for depressed rural economies needing jobs for county residents. Their training is minimal and obviously their intellect is too...just sayin...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
