THE CURRENT CLIMATE: CALLING FOR CARCERAL CHANGE "Here at San Quentin, there is no perceived sense of urgency or need to create and more importantly, share that plan with the incarcerated population. There has been multiple times when the power and generator have failed during heat waves and I have suffered asthma attacks and passed out to sleep. These power outages [occur] at night when [we] are locked in our cells. At Donovan in San Diego, the heat regularly reaches 90100 degrees from April til November, and there is no plan to even hand out ice. Custody claims it is Medical's problem and Medical claims it's Custody's problem." - Survey Respondent from San Quentin State Prison (SQSP)
