Lawyers Allege ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ at Brooklyn Jail That Lacked Power, Heat

New York defense lawyers filed a lawsuit Monday against a Brooklyn jail where more than 1,000 inmates allegedly went without heat and power in recent days, claiming that the jail is violating the inmates’ Sixth Amendment rights by denying them access to counsel

Me too. What blew me away is official’s statement on CBS this morning that the inmates were served hot meals. Like it is OK to be without heat (and without extra clothes and blankets to cope with the lack of heat) if you get 2 or 3 warmish meals per day.

@Myrth thanks for that update about meals... they should have moved them... I hope the city gets sued for millions and goes broke... I hate that this is happening...😡
