Texas charges prisoners 50% more for water as heat wave continues
The price rise hit prisoners seeking bottled water as temperatures eclipse the 100 degree mark in unairconditioned facilities. The state vendor asked to raise the price and two state agencies signed off.

Some people are truly evil.
Such as the vast majority of folks in Texas government.
Well they are Republican
That’s a funny way to spell Nazis.
Sad that they're effectively synonyms at this point
The Republican party has been running on fascism since Goldwater made his 1964 presidential campaign all about opposing the Civil Rights Acts imo, the fact that we weren't all talking about it so directly until Trump tore the mask off was a combination of it being a really disturbing thing we just didn't want to admit and our culture being guided by privileged pundits and media executives and poloticians and think tank members and etc. who are too wealthy and white to experience the consequences of Republican racism
Imho, they're trying to be worse than Nazis.
So evil the devil is afraid to take lessons from them.
And quite frankly, a significant number of Texans. Those people in Texas's government are only in the government because a massive chunk of people voted them in, and then another massive chunk said "I don't care lol".
Austin and Houston have fairly liberal populations.
But yeah, it sucks here. 1/6 of the texan population are immigrants, and 10% aren't citizens and can't vote. The right want you to victim blame. I'd encourage you to see it as people being oppressed by an overreaching corrupt government, similar to Florida. Sure there are idiots and racists but a lot of it is voter suppression and disenfranchisement
