1, As it has been mentioned, not everyone is a lifer. Hell most aren't even there for more than 5 years. P.S Minimum Sentencing is fucking stupid.
2, Even lifers can be rehabilitated to some extent. They might never leave jail again, but as people they can achieve some sense of growth, and they can help others in jail, either by example (good) or by actually doing things like social work and such within prison.
Most criminals even the worst aren't utterly beyond redemption. They literally need to be mentally deranged to be beyond help. And in that case making them needlessly suffer isn't going to achieve anything either.
At that point it's no longer about the prisoner, but about the society that confines him. A lot can be observed about a culture by the way it treats its prisoners. Being vengeful and violent and oppressive creates a feedback loop that trickles back into society at whole.
The problem is not everyone is there for life; also I'm sure countries in Central America with mud hut prisons have less crime than the US because they're a deterrent... wait, they don't. And if you're going to execute every single criminal instead of jailing them, then why waste money on the prison system like they already do?
Are you actually familiar with what society labels as basic human rights and the humane treatment of others...even criminals.
If anything it would be smart for the prison to keep the A/C flowing, especially in hot state like Louisiana. Heat agitates people and makes them restless, irritable, angry. All the prison is doing to creating more problems for themselves in the long run.

I really don't understand how people are so emphatically sympathetic for criminals considering it's not that hard to just obey the law.
because temps in a prison can get past 120F with no air movement because the prisons also lack proper ventilation to move the air. that said I don't think full AC is needed but a proper ventilation system to keep air cycled should be mandatory in every prison. even in the desert the Air moves.

Right-wingers never surprise me with how sadistic they can be.
FUCK PEOPLE WHO WERE ARRESTED, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT FOR. LET 'EM FRY!
Jesus what a dumb analogy. You are comparing buildings which may have purpose built insulation with a car, which is not built with any insulation in mind and also has windows on every face of it.
Do you have any earthly idea how much insulation brick and cinder blocks provide by themselves?
Why don't they just kill these criminals? I hope someone answers me.
