I just left this jail.
It is FREEZING.
And nobody was there to fix the heat or electricity. NOBODY. No emergency crew. Nothing. 6 straight days.
Just protestors chanting “They are human beings” as the men bang on the windows in the cold.
It’s clearly not a priority. pic.twitter.com/FISIYQKaKU

I am outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center where prisoners are without heat. The banging noise is them protesting for all of us to hear. They are without heat for days. This is in BROOKLYN. pic.twitter.com/h3UiVcR6VF
