Lawsuit accusing Texas of exposing prisoners to deadly heat bolstered by autopsy reports
A lawsuit accusing Texas of cooking inmates in its sweltering prisons got underway Tuesday with plaintiffs' attorneys armed with autopsy reports reportedly showing the core body temperatures of at least two deceased inmates topped 100 degrees. The reports, recently uncovered by public radio collaborative the Texas Newsroom, mention heat as a possible factor in the deaths of three inmates who expired last summer, including the two with core temperatures exceeding the century mark.
