Summary
Prisoners in Canada, especially the elderly and disabled, are being exposed to life-threatening heat in outdated facilities, sparking a human rights complaint. Advocates say lack of cooling puts inmates at risk of heat stroke and violates basic dignity, while Correctional Service Canada claims it’s taking steps — but critics note staff areas often have AC while cells don’t, and measures aren’t consistently applied. As climate change brings hotter, longer heat waves, urgent upgrades are needed to protect incarcerated people’s health and safety.
