The temperature/climate thing definitely seems like something you (or others) could pursue. In Texas, there was a case where it was getting so hot in the corrections facility that inmates were actually dying of heat stroke. I am not sure exactly what system you are in, but some counties will have written regulations defining the acceptable temperature range to be maintained in the facility. If this isn't being followed, or doesn't exist, it may be an opportunity for action.
I also just want to say, I don't think imprisonment should just be punishment. It should also be a chance for rehabilitation. How can we expect people to rehabilitate if we barely treat them like human beings during their incarceration?
You had 3 letters posted this week. The letter about getting the PTSD group going, and 2 posts sent with the check. Aside to this, nothing was posted since August.
As for what you can do for people when you get out... I bet speaking to troops about the repercussions of untreated PTSD and Mental Illness would go a long way after what you've experienced!
Congrats on the PTSD group! I guess for now that's the best you can ask for by way of services.
Your latest letters were very deep! You are right, people need to fight for justice in this country.
Especially when it comes to how close this country is to falling apart politically and monetarily. Princeton just published a study sleeping that we are no longer a democracy but an oligarchy, run by some elite corporations, and laws are passed based on those corporations and not on the American majority. GMO food is a good example. 92% of Americans support labeling but a series of State attempts to label have been crushed, and while some states have passed them, at the federal level they are discussing a law that would disallow states from requiring GMO labeling. Disgusting since over 30 other countries label or ban outright GMO's. So we are no longer a democracy... Now what?!
On a positive, I'm going to try visit in late February or early March. I probably won't be able to provide notice so it might be a surprise visit. I'm working on a letter I'm get mailed out maybe next week.

Seems you are just sucking up the race baiters line. The last year for which records are available was 2012. That year 2,648 black persons were murdered. 193 were killed by white people. 2,412 were killed by other blacks. That's 91%. You give us 3 names of black youth 'murdered' Let me give you some statistics to think about. In just one city.
In 107 days since officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18 year old Michael Brown – 12:03pm, Saturday, August 9th – the following has taken place in Chicago: •155 homicides (74% black males) •725 shot & wounded. •Six (6) 18 year olds killed: Kawantis Montgomery, Kamaal Burton, Tony McIntos, Alexandra Burgos, Rayvon Little, Johnathan Cartwright although I don't suppose that you heard the name of even one of them. •59 18 year olds shot & wounded •29 teenagers (13-19) killed •244 teenagers (13-19) shot and wounded •10 shot (5 killed) by the CPD.
Where were Al and Jesse during those 3 months when almost 900 persons were shot or killed. Think about your statement "The Police is just killing up all "OUR BLACK TEENAGERS" and maybe you'll realize how stupid that sounds.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well as the victims of police brutality around the world. Let's hope these injustices end. :)
