SUMMARY: In Texas, the issue of state prisons without air conditioning has heated up with the current heatwave. Prison reform advocates held a conference at the state capitol, calling for emergency action. Representative Carl Sherman believes that the inhumane conditions in the prisons are a matter of public safety. While the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has implemented some measures, such as cold water and respite areas, there is not enough staff to enforce them. The state's efforts to provide relief for inmates during the summer heat have been inadequate. Advocates are calling for immediate action to address this issue.

State prisons with no air conditioning: it's a familiar issue that heats up every summer. But this year, with the current heat wave, the debate has gotten even hotter.
