The inmates are probably on the verge of demanding reparations for the time they served.

Worth pondering in light of the J6 Gulag:

” We are men! We are not beasts and we do not intend to be beaten or driven as such. The entire prison populace, that means every one of us here, has set forth to change forever the ruthless brutalization and disregard for the lives of the prisoners here and throughout the United States. What has happened here is but the sound before the fury of those who are oppressed. We will not compromise on any terms except those terms that are agreeable to us. We’ve called upon all the conscientious citizens of America to assist us in putting an end to this situation that threatens the lives of not only us but of every one of you, as well.

β€” Declaration to the People of America, Read by Elliott James “L.D.” Barkley, September 9, 1971

Nah, give them one portable air conditioner, and enough food to sustain about 10-20% of them, then start making popcorn.

I remember spending a fortnight in London back in the late 90’s. Every day it was in high 80’s low 90’s. My hotel although right in the West End of London,did not have AC, and even with fans and my windows open it was uncomfortable sleeping.

In the middle of the last century, the inmates took over the MO state prison in Jefferson City. As word got out, armed townspeople surrounded the prison’s walls ready to stop any attempted escape. A different time, a different America.
