Temps run in the high 90's. Several deaths have been attributed to the heat. They are under a mandate from a Federal Judge to get the temp into the 80's. Sure, they were criminals, but they were sentenced to prison not death.Susan Leigh Carltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456647711904839129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-41687132651896294812017-08-07T06:28:34.075-07:002017-08-07T06:28:34.075-07:00Yikes!

I have driven through Yuma half a dozen times and never stopped there, although I have seen the sign for it from the highway. The conditions were atrocious. I can't blame them for trying to escape. How do you sleep on 18 inches??? Ridiculous! And six men to such a small cell. A very interesting post, Penny. And it made me thankful for the conditions for prisoners today.Kathryn Albrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.com
