Pitman's 150-page order requires TDCJ to immediately create and implement a plan to air condition every Texas prison, with installation completed no later than Dec. 31, 2029; the agency says compliance could cost $1.5 billion. Only about a third of the system's 104 facilities were fully air conditioned as of Sept. 1.

“In the face of clear evidence of risk — including ongoing injuries, deaths, and suffering every summer — Director Lumpkin's failure to enact a meaningful, committed plan to install air-conditioning on the timeline that TDCJ has repeatedly indicated is possible is deliberate indifference.”
