Prisons and Jail across the US struggling with heat issues…Take Action!!

Receiving many reports that jails and prisons across the US are having heating issues…with their budgets, this should NOT be an issue. They will allow our incarcerated people to freeze and with the frigid cold and North Eastern Storm moving in, we need to take action NOW.

So far we have reports on the following facilities:

Louisville Metro Corrections temps at 40 degrees.
KY DOC has at least one institution that heating is failing in parts of it–including their visitation room.

TN prisons families are taking up a collection for blankets that can be donated. The heat issue is being worked on, so I have heard- we will see how long it takes.

Folks at Riverbend Prison in Nashville are in great need of blankets. The prison is working to get heat restored, but it hasn’t happened yet. Blankets can be donated, and all donations need to be dropped off at City Road Chapel at 701 Gallatin Road South Madison, TN 37115. Blankets need to be simple poly blends, cotton, or wool blend, just no large comforters. Blankets need to be new preferably, or appear new. Please drop off blankets only. All blankets will be inspected by security before handed out. We can take blanket donations through the day and up until 9:00pm tonight. Park in the parking lot and come into the glass double doors. Please share with your folks, we need as many blankets as possible. Again, please do not drop blankets off at the prison, please send all blankets to City Road Chapel.
