My loved one is at the Luther Unit. There are several men who are getting sick, breaking out with rashes over their bodies. That the medical department does not know why this is happening. Some have even died, with the cause being reported as heart failure. The water has high amounts of dangerous metallic and bacterial contaminants including lead, arsenic, e. coli, and more were detected in more than 90 samples. 

This issue is deeply personal to me, and it is alarming to know that the health and lives of inmates are at risk due to something as basic as contaminated water. Every human being has the right to access clean and safe drinking water, and prisoners are no exception. The men in this unit are being deprived of this fundamental right, leading to severe health complications and, in some tragic cases, death.

The water quality in Texas prisons must be investigated immediately to determine the contaminants causing these health issues. It's crucial to conduct thorough testing of the water supply in the Luther Unit and other Texas prisons to ensure that every measure is taken to provide inmates with safe drinking water. Prisoners should not be subjected to conditions that endanger their health and lives.

Furthermore, Texas prison officials must be held accountable for the health and safety of inmates. Transparency regarding the water testing results and subsequent actions is paramount. In cases where the water is found to be contaminated, immediate remedial actions must be taken, such as installing filtration systems or providing bottled water until the issue is resolved.

This petition aims to bring urgent attention to the dire water conditions faced by inmates in the Luther Unit and other Texas prisons. By signing this petition, you are standing with us in demanding accountability and immediate action to provide clean and safe water to all inmates. Let us ensure that no more lives are lost due to negligent conditions. Please sign this petition to urge the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and local government authorities to act swiftly and responsibly in addressing this crisis.
