John Oliver Reveals Where Americans Are Literally Treated Worse Than Pigs
HuffPost
The "Last Week Tonight" host shows a place where the conditions are atrocious, especially in summer.
John Oliver found at least one place in America where people are often treated worse than pigs: prisons. In Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” Oliver said inmates in prisons in some of the hottest parts of the country don’t have access to air conditioning. For example, in Texas, 75 percent of prisons lack A/C, causing the heat index inside to hit 150 degrees in the summer. “This situation is so bad the U.N. Committee Against Torture has expressed particular concern about deaths from extreme heat exposure in prison facilities in Texas,” Oliver noted. “And while you probably assumed Texas prisons were bad, maybe not ‘International Human Rights Watch List’ bad.”
