History
On July 22, 2011, an inmate collapsed and died after only three days in the facility. His death was attributed to the hot environment of the prison; his body temperature was over 109 when admitted to the hospital. His family filed a wrongful death suit against the state, citing nine examples of Texas state inmates dying of heat-related causes in 2011 alone. Larry McCollum, the individual who died, had a 12 month sentence for check fraud. As of 2017 Hutchins Unit has no air conditioning.
