TDCJ, which estimates climate control will cost $1.5 billion, said the federal judge’s order imposes “chaos and confusion” on the country’s largest prison system.
I wonder if Texas Dems are going to do the right thing and fix this human rights atrocity when they take power. Apparently these facilities need about $1.5b worth of upgrades, and I can imagine how some voters aren’t going to want to hear that, but people are dying from heat related illnesses in these places all the time.
This is why conservatism is so fucked up. They refuse to ever fix anything, then the problems just get worse over time. Then anyone who wants to fix the things the conservatives criminally neglected is an evil money wasting communist who cares more about [insert minority group] than they do REAL Americans. They basically put in place a system that weaponizes ignorance and neglect against ever fixing anything, and they make lots of money from doing so. So fucking sick.
Anyone working for a prison is required to sign an NDA to take that job. What are the odds that there are more prison buildings across the 50 states without AC?
That’s not a defense, which I feel I have to say, because internet. I’m genuinely curious to know how many.
I spent a few years inside in Arizona…and one of the things I can say for the place is that they took cooling very seriously… Air coming out of the vents was 56 degrees when is good when every time the door opens the temp in the room jumped to 90…
Hopefully Texas takes this opportunity to fix their mess… (but they won’t, they’ll piss it away doing things like stripping the incoming governor of powers than complaining that she couldn’t get anything done.

100%
Most prisons in the US don’t provide prisoners with AC.

Wow that’s great to hear about Arizona. Hope you’re in a good place now.
