A terrible story from Australia:

Ward, who was arrested a day earlier for drink driving, spent four hours in the searing heat between the mining towns of Laverton and Kalgoorlie, suffering third-degree burns where his body touched the metal floor, the inquest heard.

A sad end, cooked to death in the back of a police van. And here’s the part that caught my eye:

…guards Nina Stokoe and Graham Powell, who provided Ward with only a 600 millilitre bottle of water and did not check on him throughout the journey, had breached their duty of care.

Just to be clear: I am not an Australian prison guard. Nor am I a Canadian photographer or an English novelist, but those are stories for a different time.
