“We’re assigned one pack of pads and five regular-size tampons monthly. If you’re one of the heavy bleeders, the state will not provide you any extra items. You must purchase them. We aren’t paid to work in Texas. And nothing is free in prison.” time.com/6265653/prison-mens…

As people suffer extreme heat behind bars and the child prison crisis continues, the Texas Tribune will now have no one covering either system. There are over 128,000 adults in state prisons, a number that doesn't include those on probation or parole. austinchronicle.com/daily/ne…

I remember #DanielLopez executed by the state of Texas on August 12, 2015. After 5 years on death row he dropped his appeals and asked to be executed. It's called an assisted suicide! He was 27 years old. It is time to end the cycle of violence. #EndTheDeathPenalty

FWIW, this summer’s death count in TDCJ prisons, from a variety of causes, is a *lot* higher than this. TDCJ does not consider a single death heat-related, however.
23 people have died in Texas prisons this summer as Abbott & Co. cook them in their cells without A/C. Maybe that will change when one of their own is behind bars.

In case anyone is wondering, Texas prison food in @TDCJ is still garbage. "For a month now we have been eating pancakes or cornbread cakes with syrup." (Any Texas reporters interested in covering this please get at me, I'll connect you to the woman who wrote this.)
