Hundreds of inmates at the Terminal Island federal prison on the harbor front have spent much of the last month in frigid cells without a heating system.
Hundreds of inmates at the Terminal Island federal prison on the harbor front spent one of the coldest periods in decades in frigid cells with no heat and only blankets for warmth before they were transferred temporarily to another facility.
The Terminal Island prison, originally opened in 1938, houses about 1,100 inmates convicted of low-level offenses such as drug crimes and fraud, mostly without histories of violence. On Jan. 24, “staff discovered that an underground steam line that provides heat to two housing units had collapsed, leaving those two units without heat,” the statement said.
Inmates reported to their lawyers and family that they had been placed on lockdown and that the move to Victorville came suddenly. The inmates arrived at the high-desert location — which had received recent snowfall — in chains. They are being housed at a medium-security prison, one of several lockups at the Victorville site, which is also home to a high-security facility and a women’s prison.
