TDCJ Launches Online Dashboard to Monitor Air-Conditioning Construction Progress
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) launched an online dashboard to publicly track air-conditioning construction progress across the agency following the allocation of $85 million in the 88th Texas Legislature Session.
The new online dashboard provides up-to-date information on the expansion of air-conditioned beds. As of October 15, 2023, the TDCJ has successfully implemented air conditioning in 42,500 beds across various facilities.
From April 15 through October 31, the agency implements enhanced procedures to lessen the effects of hot temperatures for those in our facilities.
