AZ Corrections Workers Disciplined in Inmate Death

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=8645875

Sixteen Arizona corrections employees have been fired,
suspended or otherwise disciplined for their role in the
death of inmate at the Perryville prison in Goodyear.

The moves were announced at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities say 48-year-old Marcia Powell collapsed in
triple-digit heat after spending four hours in an
outdoor holding cell May 20, and died of a heat-related illness.

Powell had first- and second-degree burns on her face and body
and a core body temperature of 108 degrees.

1. Arizona's 10 prisons had 233 outdoor cells for temporarily holding inmates

The state prisons system ended its use of outdoor prison cells
weeks after Powell's death. Arizona's 10 prisons had 233 outdoor
cells for temporarily holding inmates awaiting transfer to punishment
wards, medical units, other prisons or work assignments.
