Patrick Womack, a 50-year-old inmate at the H. H. Coffield Unit in Texas, tragically died in August 2023 after requesting a cooling shower in extreme heat conditions. His death highlighted the inhumane living conditions in Texas prisons, as the internal temperatures exceeded 36 degrees Celsius, contributing to a federal judge's ruling mandating climate control in state prisons.
