On Wednesday, Jackson extended his May 23 temporary restraining order (TRO) mandating heat-related safety measures for Farm Line workers.
The plaintiffs’ lawyers have asked Jackson to consider several additional items for the relief fo Farm Line.
Also left unaddressed, incarcerated workers say, are protections for the Farm Line during the winter months, when workers labor in fields in cold temperatures.
Because decades of Farm Line workers have had to defecate and urinate in the fields, people have long been wary of whether disease could be spread through Farm Line produce, Williams said.
Corrections officials have maintained that stopping the Farm Line will affect vegetables in prison meals.
