[SPEAKER_01]: But outside the visitation room, there is zero air conditioning, and the heat index was between one hundred five and one hundred ten degrees. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what moms living in, in conditions like that, with absolutely no air, and it can be one hundred degrees inside the building. [SPEAKER_01]: Continued Savannah, she literally said that she got physically sick because she got so hot.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have these women who are suffering from heat exhaustion and they're passing out.
