We recently made everyone aware that there are 10 Missouri Department of Corrections facilities with no air conditioning. As temperatures rise, the temperatures in these facilities can get very high and the incarcerated are feeling the effects.

Last week we got a message from an employee at Algoa Correctional Center regarding the temperatures at the facility. Today we received a message from the family member of a man who’s currently incarcerated at ACC and recently became dehydrated because of the heat.
