A budget request has been made for $298 million to install air conditioning in Texas prisons. This amount is significantly less than the estimated $1.5 billion needed to fully address the issue.
Inmate advocates have expressed concern over the request, viewing it as inadequate. They believe the true cost of correcting deadly conditions in prisons is much higher.
Further information on the budget request and the conditions in Texas prisons is available from the source, providing more context on the situation and the concerns of inmate advocates.
