Man who inspired dark comedy files lawsuit over prison heat
, Linklater is helping Tiede get the word out about the dangerous heat that advocates believe has killed at least a dozen inmates this summer. The director visited Tiede at thein East Texas in August, before he had been moved to an air-conditioned cell. At the visit, Linklater made a video, which the“You wake up and you’re just rolling in your sweat,” Tiede said. “You can’t get any sleep at night. It’s just really, really bad. There’s no escape.
Tiede has several conditions that make extreme heat very dangerous – diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. He told Linklater that he had a pair of incidents this summer in which he couldn’t walk, incidents that led him to believe he was having a stroke, for which the prison sent him to the hospital. On Aug. 24, he filed a lawsuit against Attorney General, which runs the prisons, asking the court to force TDCJ to house him in a cell that gets no hotter than 85 degrees.
“[Tiede] has experienced serious, chronic and acute, heat related symptoms resulting in permanent facial disfiguration from partial paralysis, ongoing chronic ear infections, and ongoing chronic health conditions related to heat, because TDCJ houses Mr. Tiede, a 65-year-old man with Diabetes and Hypertension, in a cell with no air-conditioning,” the suit reads.
