The Hutchins State Jail is a state prison for men located in unincorporated suburban Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, serving mixed security levels, with an official capacity of 2276.[1]
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.[2]
