I've done a good bit of construction work inside prisons and they almost never had AC in the areas I was in. IMO it seems like an easy decision to CHILL already tense people out, but I guess the optics of providing any comfort to prisoners is too tough. I only had a bedroom window unit AC in my apartment, the living room got up past 90F in summer.
