Heatwave Behind Bars, part 2

In last week’s episode, we exposed the unbearable conditions caused by extreme heat in Oregon prisons. This week, we follow up with the voices of those who’ve lived through it—directly responding to the Department of Corrections’ claims about how they manage heat behind bars. What emerges is a stark divide between policy and reality, and a system that continues to put lives at risk.
