'This isn't about making it a hotel," State Rep. Carl Sherman said. Example video title will go here for this video 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.
