As Texas braces for its notoriously scorching summer temperatures, the state House agreed to install air conditioning in dozens of uncooled prisons within seven years but only if lawmakers specifically set aside money for it.
On Thursday night, the Texas House initially passed a bill that would require all Texas lockups to be cooled over a seven-year span, capping costs at $300 million. But the state prison agency would only have to abide by the measure if lawmakers also agree to specifically provide state or federal funds toward cooling costs.

Spurred by The News' inquiries, Texas prisons will release heat logs at state lockups


Spurred by The News’ inquiries, Texas prisons will release heat logs at state lockups
The state agency will disclose outdoor heat readings at its lockups after The Dallas Morning News obtained years of previously unreleased records.
Rep. Carl O. Sherman, Sr., D-DeSoto, stands outside a mock cell the Texas Prison Air-Conditioning Advocates set up in South Austin the week of April 19, 2021. The group invited lawmakers and the public to experience what it feels like to experience the heat behind bars.

The state prisons department does not measure indoor heat levels at most of its lockups, many of which have no or only partial air conditioning.
