An inmate’s body temp was 107.5 when he died. The state of Texas says heat did not kill him.

www.kut.org An inmate’s body temp was 107.5 when he died. The state of Texas says heat did not kill him.

Newly released autopsies show extreme temperatures in state prisons may have contributed to multiple recent deaths behind bars. But the state says heat hasn’t killed any prisoners in more than a decade. A lawsuit challenging Texas prison heat protocols will be heard in federal court on Tuesday.
