The slrpnk.net server went down and the admin wasn’t able to physically get to the server to fix the issue. It appears it came back up quicker than anticipated.

Texas prison staff falsified records about temperatures behind bars, internal investigation finds

Another fun quote:

Chris Cirrito, the chief audit executive for the Texas Board of Criminal Justice, carried out the investigation. In his report, he found the Department of Criminal Justice did not intentionally deceive the judge because the falsified records were created before this case was filed.

The logs were falsified, Cirrito wrote, after someone requested them under the state’s public records laws. That’s when prison staff realized they were missing or defaced.

“The evidence supports periods of carelessness in record creation and/or retention and an attempt by the unit to avoid reporting missing temperature logs,” he concluded.

In emails sent to Department Executive Director Bryan Collier, also included in the court filing, Cirrito said he was confident in his findings and that they “should satisfy the judge.” But he added, “I might be able to prove it out even further and think it’s worth turning over the rock.”

I found this on the OSM wiki:

While I admit having updated streetside images would be great, I might be too lazy to reach out to ask :D
