	"description": "Larry was supposed to return home to his family after his 2 year sentence for passing a bad check. Instead he died of heatstroke after suffering convulsions in his cell. He didn’t have a fan, he couldn’t even open a window. The indoor heat index that week, recorded by prison officials, topped 150 degrees and his body temperature rose to 109 degrees. He died inside a hot, stifling Texas prison cell after only 7 days in TDCJ. Prison shouldn’t be a death sentence. But TDCJ killed Larry and others by imprisoning them in a dangerous environment and ignoring the risks. Of Texas’ 109 prisons, 79 are not fully air conditioned and the indoor heat index often exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit. These conditions are extremely dangerous and amount to cruel and unusual punishment. Tell Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas legislature that they must act now and ensure that the heat index in Texas prisons is below 88 degrees F. This petition is sponsored by the Texas Inmate Families Association (TIFA).
