'This isn't about making it a hotel," State Rep. Carl Sherman said. TEXAS, USA — State Rep. Carl Sherman is still waiting. The North Texas Democrat has been asking Gov. Greg Abbott to call a special session to make installing air conditioning in Texas prisons a priority. It's estimated that 70% of prisons in Texas do not have A/C in most living areas. 'If this was a work environment in the public, we would come in and shut it down,' Rep. Sherman told us on Inside Texas Politics. Sherman says at this point, the state is treating animals better than humans.
