The Brooklyn federal lockup that left almost 1,700 inmates in below-freezing temperatures earlier this year had 'longstanding' problems with its heating system, review says.
The Brooklyn, New York, federal lockup that left almost 1,700 inmates in below-freezing temperatures after a fire earlier this year had"longstanding" problems with its heating system, according to the results of the U.S. Inspector General's Office review.
However, the safety and security of the inmates were not a concern, according to the 65-page report released on Thursday that gave nine undisputed recommendations to the BOP as a result of the investigation. The BOP issued two conflicting press releases about the fire over six days and erroneously assured the public that the inmates had hot water.
The investigation found the jail's lowest recorded temperature was 59 degrees a week before the fire. When the power was restored, the heat rose to over 80 degrees. Inmates made"nearly three times as many complaints about hot temperatures than cold temperatures," said Horowitz.
