The Central California Women\u2019s Facility, the nation\u2019s largest women\u2019s prison, is in Chowchilla, where temperatures reached past 90 degrees by the second week of May. The prison lacks air conditioning or any facility-wide cooling system, turning cells into saunas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dread going to my groups at night because we have to wait forever at the gates and we cannot bring water with us. We can\u2019t take water bottles to the main yard and my groups are on the main yard, so I am SOL,\u201d 45-year-old Tien Mo wrote on May 11, an afternoon when temperatures reached 96 degrees.<\/p>\n

Dehydration is just one concern. People behind bars are particularly vulnerable to heat-related harm, including death. A 2019 study by the Prison Policy Initiative found that 13 states in the hottest parts of the U.S. lack universal air conditioning in their prisons, meaning that while some areas, such as the chapel, visiting room or administrative offices, might have air conditioning, others, such as housing units, do not. A 2023 study found that extreme heat was associated with higher overall mortality behind bars. Researchers found that, for every 10 degrees increase above the prison\u2019s mean summer temperature, nearly five percent of deaths (from all causes) could be attributed to the heat.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, on July 4, 2024, temperatures at Chowchilla reached 109 degrees. That day, 47-year-old Adrienne Boulware waited for her medications in the yard. Later that day, she became incoherent, dropped to the ground, and began shaking. She was transported to the hospital and died two days later.<\/p>\n

She was one year from a parole hearing.<\/p>\n

Now, her family members are among those pushing for Adrienne\u2019s Act, which would implement relief measures during extreme weather events, including the punishing heat and wildfire smoke that pummels California every year between May and October. It would require the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to implement a plan ensuring that living quarters, work areas, and recreational spaces have cooling systems and shade structures. It would also require that officials monitor indoor temperatures, investigate and document heat-related incidents, and develop emergency response protocols during extreme weather events, which include extreme heat.<\/p>\n

Adrienne\u2019s Act also establishes the Climate Justice in Prisons Emergency Response Act, which directs the state prison agency to issue summer-appropriate clothing, such as shorts, identify additional shade structures in yards and exercise areas, and allow increased access to showers and personal fans during excessive heat or wildfire smoke. It would also require prison medical staff to conduct regular assessments to identify those at risk for heat-related illnesses (such as those who are elderly, on medications that increase their risk, or have preexisting health conditions), to monitor symptoms for heat-related illnesses and provide prompt medical attention, and to document heat-related illnesses, symptoms, and treatment, establishing relief measures such as access to cool drinking water and cooled indoor areas, and modifying work and program requirements for those with risk factors.<\/p>\n

Had such measures been in place, Boulware would not have died, her daughter Tyresha Reed told Truthout.<\/em><\/p>\n

In an email, CDCR spokesperson Mary Xjiminez stated that, \u201cafter a thorough autopsy including ancillary testing, the Madera County Coroner ruled Ms. Boulware\u2019s cause of death as undetermined.\u201d She directed Truthout<\/em> to the coroner\u2019s report which found it unlikely that Boulware was \u201csignificantly hyperthermic leading to her demise. It was possible that her increase in body temperature was secondary to seizure activity.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis Could Have Been Preventable\u201d<\/h2>\n

In March, more than 10 of Boulware\u2019s family members traveled to Sacramento for a committee hearing on the bill. The family who were present included Boulware\u2019s siblings, cousins, daughters, and nine of her grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother left behind four kids, 12 grandkids who she loved dearly, a lot of other family members as well,\u201d Reed testified at a March 24 hearing before the California State Assembly committee on public safety. \u201cMy children and my siblings\u2019 children cry every single day because their nana was supposed to come home and she didn\u2019t, and this could have been preventable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that the dead can speak from the grave, and she\u2019s speaking loud and clear,\u201d testified bill sponsor Assemblymember Mike Gipson. \u201cShe\u2019s saying that we must do something, and we must do something now. I respectfully ask for a strong aye vote in the memory of not only her, but those who\u2019ve come before her as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seven committee members unanimously voted to approve the bill. It then moved to the appropriations committee. In mid-May, it passed that committee.<\/p>\n

Adrienne\u2019s Act notes that California\u2019s Legislative Analyst\u2019s Office (LAO) has found that closing prisons can at those facilities and concentrate resources at the remaining prisons. The LAO has recommended that the state prioritize closure of certain prisons as a first step in managing prison infrastructure.<\/p>\n

While CDCR does not comment on pending legislation, its that cooling its 31 prisons would cost the state approximately $6 billion. It has rolled out an air cooling pilot program at the Central California Women\u2019s Facility as well as Kern Valley State Prison and California State Prison.<\/p>\n

The California Coalition for Women Prisoners notes another way to save money \u2014 decarcerating the aging. Roughly one in five people in California women\u2019s prisons are over age 50. The state spends up to $300 million each year incarcerating approximately 740 elders in its two women\u2019s prisons. None of that money is allocated to air conditioning or other means of cooling the housing units even though in 2024, the year that Boulware died, Chowchilla had 28 days when temperatures reached or surpassed 105 degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen in prison over 65 used to be a rarity here,\u201d said Christie, now in her 80s. (Christie asked that her legal name not be published to avoid retaliation.) \u201cNow there\u2019s a whole herd of us.\u201d And the combination of climate change and aging has taken its toll on this growing herd.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely, extreme heat is way less tolerable as I have aged,\u201d 71-year-old Mindy, incarcerated at the California Institution for Women in southern California, told Truthout.<\/em> \u201cIt makes it more difficult to walk to work and any other activity. It makes me feel sick to my stomach, exhausted, and my high blood pressure issues increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mindy was able to buy two fans, but notes that those who lack money or outside support are only issued one.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis became a real call for action prior to last year because they were giving free fans to the dogs in the puppy program but humans were given nothing! It took a death for policy to change,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur buildings reach temperatures in the 90s and NEVER COOL OFF in the summer,\u201d Christie told Truthout <\/em>in an electronic message. <\/em>\u201cI feel we are being cooked to death.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California Institution for Women has a cooling area for senior citizens, but Christie notes that it is only open on weekdays from 8:30 am to 3 pm. CDCR stated that the hours are based on when count occurs and that the cooling area cannot be opened after count time because staff are not available to supervise. But temperatures are often hottest in the mid-afternoon. <\/p>\n

At the 36-year-old Central California Women\u2019s Facility, 54-year-old Ezekiel Teaque hasn\u2019t noticed any construction or indoor temperature changes. \u201cI really don\u2019t believe we got a new cooling system because the roof is literally falling in and \u2026 water is just leaking all over the place,\u201d he wrote in early June on a day when temperatures exceeded 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Not Going Out\u201d<\/h2>\n

At least 41 people incarcerated in Texas prisons died during a 2023 heat wave when prison heat readings regularly read 100 degrees or higher. This included 37-year-old Elizabeth Hagerty, who was scheduled for parole one month after guards found her unresponsive in her un-air-conditioned cell. As previously reported in Truthout<\/em>, temperatures had reached nearly 100 degrees the day before she was found.<\/p>\n

The previous year, a study of Texas prisons found that even a one-degree increase above 85 \u00b0F in prisons without air conditioning was associated with a 0.7% increase in the risk of mortality. Researchers estimated that 13 percent of deaths in Texas prisons during warm months between 2001 and 2019 may be attributable to extreme heat.<\/p>\n

In 2025, federal judge Robert Pitman ruled that housing people in prisons that lack air conditioning is \u201cplainly unconstitutional.\u201d But he declined to force the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to immediately install either temporary or permanent air conditioning.<\/p>\n

The issue came before Pitman again in 2026, when incarcerated people and advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit in an attempt to force the state to provide air conditioning in all of its prisons. TDCJ argued that it would cost $1.5 billion to install air conditioning in all prisons. The two-week trial ended in early April. Pitman has yet to issue a ruling.<\/p>\n

This leaves 59-year-old\u201cJack\u201d sweltering in a cellblock that will soon become a sauna. Jack asked that his full name not be published so as not to affect his chances at parole. Jack was recently transferred from a prison which had full air conditioning to one that had none.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral of my medications have heat, humidity, and sunlight restrictions which make me more susceptible to the elements,\u201d he told Truthout. <\/em>\u201cI can\u2019t even open my window due to a wasp nest being somewhere near my window.\u201d After being stung twice, he keeps his window closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans do no good in the summer because all they do is circulate the hot air,\u201d he said. \u201cI am unable to go to outside recreation and this unit has no awnings, so I often am in the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n

When previously confined to hot units, Jack resorted to wearing a wet sheet like a toga and laying on a flooded cell floor to keep from overheating. He plans to revert to those practices this summer.<\/p>\n

Aisha Bailey has been in Texas state prisons since 2004. \u201cMy tolerance to heat has gotten worse because the heat itself has gotten worse,\u201d the 49-year-old told Truthout.<\/em> \u201cEven though recreation is offered less and less due to staffing issues, I still don\u2019t want to go outside when the opportunity does come. Once we go to outside recreation, we are usually left out there for hours due to the officer forgetting or being too busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the summer, she avoids programs during the hottest part of the day.She also requests that her medications usually dispensed in the afternoons (between 2 pm and 5 pm) be changed to the mornings (3 am to 6 am), which she says providers are willing to accommodate.<\/p>\n

Bailey was recently transferred to the Lane Murray unit. In 2024, officials installed an air cooling system in its segregation unit after the 2023 death of Hagerty and multiple op-eds by incarcerated journalist Kwaneta Harris on the blistering heat. General population cellblocks, however, remained uncooled.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Harris was transferred from a non-solitary unit, which lacked air conditioning, to the fully air-conditioned Patrick O\u2019Daniel unit, a six-minute drive from the Murray unit.<\/p>\n

While the cellblock has air conditioning, she must walk through the yard to go to the cafeteria. On an 88-degree day, the three-minute walk leaves her dripping with sweat. The cafeteria only has fans which push around the hot air.<\/p>\n

As temperatures rise, Harris plans her meals from the foods bought from commissary. \u201cI\u2019m not going out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When asked about Haggerty\u2019s death, air conditioning, and heat mitigation efforts, TDCJ spokesperson Amanda Hernandez directed Truthout <\/em>to the agency\u2019s page on air conditioning construction projects, which notes that 38 prisons are fully air conditioned and 52 are partly air conditioned. TDCJ has .<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Person Can Change Someone\u2019s World\u201d<\/h2>\n

Tyresha Reed is somber when she talks about her and Boulware\u2019s plans. Reed had moved to a bigger house so that Boulware could live with her and had even furnished her mother\u2019s room.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted to get all her grandkids together at one time,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can only have six people at a visit, so there was no way for her to see all her grandkids at one time. That was something she really wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boulware also looked forward to tasting her adult daughters\u2019 cooking. \u201cWhen I cooked for the kids, she would have me send her pictures,\u201d Reed recalled. She was especially looking forward to trying what Reed called a chicken roast. \u201cIt\u2019s chicken, potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions all cooked together in the crock pot,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Now, instead of gathering grandchildren or ingredients, Reed is learning how to advocate for a life-saving law. She has joined All of Us or None, a group fighting for the rights of currently and formerly incarcerated people and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always tell my kids, one person can\u2019t change the world, but one person can change someone\u2019s world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In early June, however, Reed and other advocates learned that Gipson\u2019s office decided to \u201cgut and amend\u201d the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means all existing bill language, everything that made up Adrienne\u2019s Act, will be removed, and only the bill number will remain,\u201d explained Ravyn McCullough, a member of California Coalition for Women Prisoners. \u201cThis gives the author\u2019s office the authority to transfer language from a previous bill that died.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gipson\u2019s office did not respond to Truthout<\/em>\u2019s questions about the bill by publication time.<\/p>\n

As for Reed, she\u2019s determined to keep fighting to ensure that no one else goes through the same tragedy. \u201cI\u2019m going to keep fighting until a change is made,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
