Remember, we have a choice because we were never convicted of any crimes. Offenders have a lot of rights in prisons, and I have never seen one mistreated. They are afforded ice water all day and all night. It a prison, it is not TDCJ-ID objection to make sure they are comfortable, but to maintain custody and control. They are not subject to any conditions that CO's aren't subject to.

Not everyone sentenced is a violent person but with temperatures that high it makes everyone irritable. It's a shame the deaths in within TDCJ Facilities don't get the attention they need. I guess Whitmire has forgotten that every inmate has friends and family members that vote and have the ability to vote him out of office. And I won't be surprised to see it happen. Another tidbit about Whitmire....He was one of the 11 that went to New Mexico to keep from voting on a bill. He was also involved in getting a bartender fired for refusing to serve him because he was already intoxicated. Why doesn't he mention any of those things???malewis48https://www.blogger.com/profile/06653643545946221277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96557554072163721.post-85892889063012605662011-09-18T14:23:08.794-05:002011-09-18T14:23:08.794-05:00BTW, Neon, the issued uniforms are made from cotto...BTW, Neon, the issued uniforms are made from cotton, not polyester.Martynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96557554072163721.post-86329384763116111122011-09-18T14:16:51.071-05:002011-09-18T14:16:51.071-05:00Neon, bless your heart.

Y...:-) ha ha, I'll bet a family member or two?<br /><br />Ya'll, I know how much you care for your family members. My wife has family members who were incarcerated. Shucks, I guess that makes them my family members too. I gotta tell ya'll that it really isn't as bad in there as you think it is regarding the heat. All of the older ladder style units have pretty good ventilation. The ones I find the hottest now days are the trusty camps with their metal walls. They get pretty hot in there. So, the agency does everything they can to ventilate them with large fans, and exhaust fans. And, they do extra things like providing cold water and more ice. Plus, they have an indigent fan program for offenders who don't have the money to buy their own fans. <br /><br />And, as far as medical goes it's not that bad either. I noticed someone mentioned a concern about offenders who may have had heart surgery, and their recovery. We have a unit in Texas City, TX where they house a lot of medical offenders who are recovering from surgery, and other medical issues. They stay there until they are well enough to be ok on a regular unit. And, all of the housing area's at the Young unit are air conditioned except for the trusty dorm. And, they have good medical staff there. So, the inmates are well taken care of there. <br /><br />I know this because I helped to open that unit in 1995, and worked there up until about 2008. Ya'll need to know that TDCJ is not full of a bunch of medieval sadistic guards, even though it may seem that way when you read some of our postings. We have a lot of good professional staff at our units.Martynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96557554072163721.post-11711010188022324342011-09-18T11:25:37.189-05:002011-09-18T11:25:37.189-05:00Good idea Marty, let's do it!!!

I know a really high profile place that can get this happening really quick is on Facebook as well...where I will be campaigning against him. Regardless of who you are and what you've done you're still a human being and deserve to be treated as such. Obviously, Senator Whitmire has different opinions about it. I still cannot believe someone in his position would actually say the things he did, I can believe in Justice...it will be served when he is REMOVED from office. We as Americans would never allow for a Dog to be treated this way, so why would we stand back and allow any human being to be treated this way? May God watch over his loved ones and the ones yet to come, so they may never make a stupid mistake and land behind the walls of cruelty...or maybe he should allow it, so the Senator can see what we do...do you think he would allow it then? I'm sure plenty of strings would be pulled for his family member/s...like all the other crooked politicians in office :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96557554072163721.post-1123856312547329652011-09-18T00:51:29.677-05:002011-09-18T00:51:29.677-05:00If they really got fans and ice water, maybe the &...If they really got fans and ice water, maybe the "inmate lovers" wouldn't be up in arms. But they don't. Yeah, there's plenty of ice water- but it does no good when people can't get to it. And fans would be great- if they were always turned on. <br /><br />All these "You hug a thug types need to gtfo!11!!!" just amaze me. This is not the middle ages. Prison is not supposed to be comfortable, but they are also not supposed to die from indifferent attitudes about providing basic care. Some of those "thugs" are nonviolent offenders who did something stupid, like tagging, and got caught. Some are drunks with 3 strikes. Many are ex-military (Still think we should treat them like shit? They DID fight for our country). Some are wrongfully convicted. And yeah, some are violent offenders. But if the justice system did not sentence them to death, why do all you holier than thou types think its OK to kill them by not providing basic needs? <br /><br />No, prison should not be a vacation (although white collar criminals pretty much get treated that way- I bet Tom DeLay isn't sweating to death anywhere, and sorry- HE IS A CRIMINAL TOO). No one is requesting 72 degree temps for these guys- but less than 120 would be nice. Hell, 90 would be acceptable, or 95- but 120 is inhumane. <br /><br />If Whitmire kept his dog in an unventilated 120 degree box all summer, he's be brought up on criminal charges- but because these are inmates, suddenly that makes it ok.<br /><br />Shame on you, John Whitmire. You make me ashamed to admit I'm from Houston. This is not right, ethically or morally- and those who argue otherwise? If you call yourselves good Christians, you're lying to yourself. And God don't like liars. Shame on you, hypocrites.<br />Raven's Phoenix<br />(and nope, I don't post on PTO)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
