The weather in Hong Kong has been extremely hot in recent days, and the number of "hot nights" in May broke an all-time record.
Tan Kaibang, who has been remanded in custody for the pro-democracy primary elections and has resigned as a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council, issued an open letter saying that the prison is very hot and the hot weather warning in recent days has made him fall asleep at 1 or 2 in the morning.
He said to himself that he was "very hot." In the past summer, the air conditioner was rarely turned on, but the heat in the prison "has exceeded the human limit." He hoped that the Correctional Services Department could install more fans.

said to
himself “very hot”, “As everyone knows, I rarely turn on the air conditioner. I rely on three tricks to fall asleep in the hot summer, including Take a shower one hour before going to bed, blow the bed directly with a fan, and sleep on a bamboo mat/rattan mat. You can leave the air-conditioning in summer.” Tan Kaibang pointed out that most of the fans in the prison only blow about a foot to the side of the gate. "It doesn't feel cold on the bed." "The heat here has surpassed human limits. I hope that the Correctional Services Department can install more fans and blow them straight into the cell."
The Correctional Services Department recently responded that a number of measures have been taken to improve the detention environment in the prison, including the air circulation in the institution. In addition to changing the fan regularly, it also installs a powerful horn fan and installs ventilation step by step. New-style gates and windows with better performance improve air circulation.
The Department tested the anti-suicide roller fans in the cells of Stanley Prison last year, and installed them in phases at the beginning of this year. It is estimated that the installation of about 600 cells will be completed in the third quarter of this year, including about 420 top-floor cells. room.
