A Call For Fan To Prisoners' Program

A Call For Support of the Texas CURE's "Fan To Prisoners" Program

This is an open letter to the public. With the summer upon us, it is imperative (in some cases possibly a matter of life and death) that state prisoners in Texas have readily available access to a fan.

The Texas Observer published an article in late-2012 entitled "Caged Heat" that details the dangers freed by prisoner confined in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). News station Across the State has since reported on the deadly dilemma faced by TDCJ guards and prisoners during the summer months.

-needs your support to make its "Fans to Prisoners" program a success this year and hereafter.

Please contact them and contribute financial and material support, as well as suggestion on what might best help to minimize the risk of death prisoners have suffered as a result of the extreme heat experienced inside the 100+ prisons spread across the state.

I am thanking you in advance for your kindness and consideration.

Most respectfully,
Lakeith Amir-Sharif
