According to Oliver, heat stroke injuries and deaths facing prisons isn't just a side effect of summer, but a side effect of policies that do not seem to care at all.

Depending on a prisoner's age or physical and mental preexisting conditions, excessive heat could cause additional injury.

While these conditions clearly call for concern, Oliver cites Texas as one of the states where callous apathy, and not ignorance is at fault.  From lawsuits to lies, officials have actively fought initiatives to install air conditioning units for prisoners— instead installing them for prison staff and even prison animal farms. .
