I don’t always follow policy to the letter but the agencies knee jerk reaction (reactive not proactive) approach to lawsuits for these issues due to the fact that other states in which do not have AC don’t have the humidity problem or a severe heat like we do down here in Texas. Other states and federal prisons have AC. Yes prison is not to be comfortable and is to be a punishment and we survived a long time until it became an issue. The staff are miserable in the heat and no pay raise is gonna fix that with staffing and people quitting and everyone being short having them over work themselves doing 4 duty posts or whatever. Regardless if your supervisors follow policy or not, you need to follow it and not worry about them. They can be mad if they want but they can’t do anything to you for following policy. CYA cuz they won’t do that for you.
