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?
Best of luck to you,
