New York City has roasted a man to death.

Brazen Bull | National Review Online:
They’re from the government, and they’re here to hurt. 
Because of his mental problems, Mr. Murdough was to be kept under close supervision — he was to be checked every 15 minutes, in fact.

Rikers Island has many problems, from gang riots to widespread rape. 

There are plenty of criminals on both sides of the bars. 

It also has some more mundane problems, such as malfunctioning climate-control systems. Mr. Murdough was kept in a six-by-ten cinderblock cell, which effectively became a brick oven when the dysfunctional heating system caused the temperature in the cell to become, in the precisely chosen words of Mark Cranston, the acting commissioner of the city’s corrections department, “unusually high,” which is precisely what you’d have to be to imagine that those words provide an adequate description of the circumstances in question.

Mr. Murdough, trying to keep from freezing to death, was instead baked to death.

...For the negligent homicide of Mr. Murdough, the corrections officer responsible for checking on his condition was given a 20-day suspension. 
When this produced a gale of criticism, it was extended to 30 days. 
Because the law is written in no small part for the benefit of those who enforce it, the officer cannot legally be suspended for a longer period. 
A mechanical-systems supervisor was transferred. 
The warden in charge has been transferred as well, and has received a ceremonial demotion.
Rikers corrections officers are represented by a powerful union, and government employees are the nation’s most powerful special-interest group.
How powerful?
Two senior Rikers officers who were charged with a raft of felonies involving the abuse of an inmate during a training exercise, and who filed false reports to cover it up and suborned new recruits to file false reports to support their fiction, continued collecting six-figure compensation packages until the moment the judge’s gavel came down to punctuate the word “Guilty.”"
