3.That ALL the UNITS’ exhaust fans “MUST” be working at all times in all areas of the facilities
4.Blowing AIR and Fans for “ALL” Inmates
At the same time that this EMERGENCY EXECUTIVE ORDER BE ISSUED TODAY from your OFFICE should definitely state for this to be done immediately in “ALL” Texas Facilities; then request that a team be set up to follow up this EXECUTIVE ORDER seeing that this Executive Order is followed thorugh. Forming Teams to be sent to different facilities all over the State of Texas testing the heat index in the areas where Inmates are trying to survive.
