Nashville prison loses heat; no timeline for fixing problem...

[Crude Abolitionist]

A maximum security prison in Nashville is without its main source of heat amid bone-chilling cold, and state officials do not know when they will fix the problem.

Riverbend Maximum Security Institution lost hot water pressure Monday, causing the facility's boiler to stop working, said Tennessee Department of Correction spokeswoman Neysa Taylor.

The boiler powers the heating system at the nearly 30-year-old facility. Staff members are still trying to determine what caused the loss of pressure and when the heating system will be back online.

There were 787 inmates at the prison as of Nov. 30, according to state statistics. Riverbend houses many high-risk inmates along with Tennessee's only death row.

Monday evening, temperatures dropped to single digits in Nashville. The National Weather Service recorded a temperature of 5 degrees at 7:16 Tuesday morning, 24 degrees colder than the "normal value" for the day.

The heat was still out as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, and Taylor said there is still no timetable for when the system will be operational.

The department implemented "emergency procedures," including passing out extra blankets and installing portable heaters, Taylor said.

In a statement, Bobby Straughter, assistant commissioner of operations, lauded the work of the state maintenance staff.

"These folks worked throughout the night in extreme conditions to ensure that everyone was kept safe. We thank them for their service," Straughter said.

David Sexton, assistant commissioner of prisons, said in a statement "the staff and inmates have been extremely understanding and cooperative as we work to fix this inconvenience."

In July, a heat wave overtaxed the air-conditioning system at the Tennessee Prison for Women, a facility home to 782 inmates in northwest Nashville.

What I put in bold is a complete lie. Nobody is comfortable or understanding when they have no heat and its 5 outside. shyt makes my blood boil.

I'm telling yall our people are suffering in silence everyday tossed away in slavery. These are awful conditions people have died and will continue to die if we don't get rid of these prisons. They could of been fixed this but they don't care. They enjoy seeing us suffer. Its time for us to become slavery abolitionist and come together to end slavery once and for all in Amerikkka or this will continue to happen.

Everyday slavery continues in Amerikkka is an atrocity.

What do you expect it’s Nashville. I’m not shocked and any injustice that comes from Tennessee, Louisiana or Mississippi. Those places act like slavery never ended.

That's because it never did. This is what I'm here for now to spread the message of Slavery abolitionism too many of us think Slavery was ended. It never was. Read the 13th Amendment exception clause and get involved with spreading the word. Here it is you can google it.

"The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither SLAVERY nor

INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE, **[EXCEPT AS A PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME]** whereof the party shall have

been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

I’m well aware of that. It’s a difficult situation we get put in often but the best way to combat it is to stay away from jail. This is a maximum security prison, filled with violent offenders and dudes on death row. Unfortunately they didn’t get there by accident and they right back on the plantation.

I will say the best way to combat this is by having true legal aid and not some court appointed attorney. It costs money but with crowd sourcing we have the ability to spark change.

Please stop telling innocent people just to avoid jail....If it were that simple...Its just an ignorant statement please check yourself.

I agree with you on crowd sourcing for the time being, but we have to get rid of the 13th Amendment exception clause and some of the simple (you where most likely indoctrinated into thinking slavery as punishment for a crime is acceptable in society) logic we apply to slavery. Nobody deserves to be a slave period.

They can be punished in several ways. They will not be slaves.

They can sit in facilities away from society for life. But nobody will subjected to slavery.

You tried....poorly.

So what is the difference between a prisoner and a slave?

 

[Cheese McNair]

shyt is sad. Keep spreading awareness bruh. That’s all I can really say.

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

Slaves were imposed by courts?

Do people buy or purchase prisoners?

Can I purchase a prisoner?

Keep it up and you will end up on the ignore list.

I'm not here to argue your pro slavery points.
