Yeah, this would cost more than the prison itself probably. You’re not demoing a residential building, these are reinforced concrete walls. I hate to play the dick card here, but they’re felons. They’re kinda supposed to have a really shitty experience?
We do have the 8th amendment. Also overheated people tend to be become agitated. That’s a good incentive to keep people more comfortable on its own in prison environment.
They’ll put a single unit in the wardens office.
I fully expect this to be overturned by the Supreme Court, with the ruling determining that HVAC was not specifically mentioned in the constitution.
HVAC does not appear in the Bible either.
Neither do guns but Conservatives seem to think Jesus was armed
explain this then:
Have you ever seen the abs on crucified Jesus? He definitely had guns
Jesus doesn’t skip abs day
And that he was White… And right…
Not so much to help the inmates but someone in power has a good buddy that sells air conditioners. /s
Do, uh … do all Texas schools have air conditioning yet?
Yeah, schools are terrified of lawsuits.
should order them to have electricity too
There goes the power grid again …
If this is enough to become a power grid problem, Texas needs to ask itself, “Why do we have so many people in prison?”
Isn’t most of Texas in prison?
Bro what
There goes someone someone trying to be humane.* With human people. Which should have already been done.
Agree 100%. I’m not ragging on the judge, it should have been in place, it’s the lack of planning around the power grid. Maybe my comment was flippant, but you’re not wrong.
Ah my b, I prolly shoulda just asked for clarification
Nah, you’re good, I was being flippant lol
I thought you were meaning they’d kill the power to the prisons to keep the required HVAC from being able to run.
Wait until the next judge orders to have the prisons run the air conditioning at resonable temperatures by 2039…
I dearly hope my cynic comment ages like milk.Sadly I don’t see the incentive for a for-profit torture trap to spend potential profit on energy bills to avoid torturing people.
They will if they stand to miss out on money if they fail to do it. That basic level of incentives is all that works at this point
Should be fine, most outages are during the winter.
Prices are a different thing though
Coupled with solar, in Texas when there is a need for airco…. Should be ok :)
