As temperatures soar above 100 degrees, North Carolina’s prison system says most of its facilities now have air conditioning. The Department of Adult Correction promised to have AC in all prisons by the end of this year. But the agency says it will miss that goal. 90 percent of the state's prison beds are now air conditioned, according to a Friday press release from the Department of Adult Corrections (DAC). The state has been working to install or repair cooling units since 2022.
