Excessive Heat on Death Row- UPDATE

PJI is now seeking to modify the remedy in Ball v. LeBlanc, our ongoing lawsuit regarding excessive heat on death row.  

As summer approaches, the heat index on death row has ALREADY exceeded the 88-degree threshold that the District Court identified as the bright line at which the heat conditions become extreme enough to violate the Constitution.  

Below, read our request to the Court to modify the relief so that the ongoing constitutional violation is corrected.
