This interview with Jill Stein in the Charlotte Business Journal is interesting throughout. Especially notable is her account of being held in a freezing cold jail cell all night, during her campaign.
She was arrested on August 1, 2012 in Philadelphia.

Based on the attire of another protester, it is unlikely that it was literally freezing cold.
“Based on the attire of another protester, it is unlikely that it was literally freezing cold.”
That statement makes no sense in the real world. The jail was kept cold, part because it was summer, and as a means of adding punishment to prisoners. And it is not out of the question that the police could have easily kept the section Stein was in extra cold as a method of tormenting political dissidents.
The point being, Mr. Riley, is that how a person dresses when outside in August does not equate to the temperature inside the jail.
I’ll grant you that it is certainly in the realm of fantasy that the jailers could have kept the section that Stein was in extra cold as a method of tormenting political dissidents.
Stein related how they kept introducing a 80-year-old nun to the ordinary decent inmates, so it does not appear that they were administratively segregated.
Philadelphia jails have been cited for overcrowding, so it is likely that the air conditioning was set low to counteract the heat put off by humans in crowded situations, and possibly to reduce conflict between inmates. Heat makes people irritable.
