NBC Washington Repairs are underway at the D.C. Department of Corrections -- where people are housed after being arrested -- after the facility went days without air conditioning.  The dangerous situation came to light publicly Monday morning but had been going on since Saturday. '[They were] begging for water,' Miranda Rosenfelt, of community jail support, said. 'They could see the guards had multiple fans in their areas, but were not distributing them among the inmates.' Repairs should have been underway as soon as the AC went out & people moved immediatelyThe abuse sustained by those held at CCB is an ongoing systemic issue that has been continuously deep under the rug & resulted in torture conditions this weekend.
