Metro article about prisoners and the heatwave, but if they behaved they would not be in prison ?

Im all for caring for humanity as a whole, but in terms of prisoners they did commit crimes and get locked up.

Too generalised. There are some who shouldn't be there, some who deserve to be there forever, some good people who made a mistake and are suffering in terrible terrible ways. Pretty much anyone can end up in prison in a small twist of fate.

Agreed somewhat. If hospitals and schools are hot, then prisons can go to the bottom of the priority list for fans and aircon.

Well the staff are all working in the heat as well.
its a bit ridiculous you can say they are in prison so dosent matter what the conditions are?
