Texas prisons ordered to install air conditioning by 2029
Original: Texas prisons must install air conditioning by 2029 following federal court ruling
A federal court ruling requires Texas to install air conditioning in its prisons by 2029. The decision follows years of complaints and litigation over dangerously high temperatures inside state lockups, where heat has been blamed for deaths of inmates and staff. It marks one of the most significant mandates on prison conditions in the state.
Why now: A federal court has just ordered the state to spend years upgrading prison cooling systems, a costly and politically contentious change.
