“It’s a concrete block; hot in the summer, cold in the winer.” Retired Highway Patrol Officer talking about their experience locking folks up in this exact facility in the 80’s.
We’ve made significant upgrades to the building in order to create a comfortable interior temperature during all weather conditions while still maintaining the authenticity and charm of this historic jailhouse. The challenges of extreme weather on a concrete square are real and documented but here is a list of ways that we have worked to address them:
a professionally installed 12,000BTU mini-split AC/Heater
multiple fans for improved circulation (for best results, keep on low at all times)
new rooftop deck to shade the roof and reduce heat transfer
insulated metal entry door
extra quilts stored under the bed
Our policy states that we do not refund based on temperature complaints; however, we understand the challenges and will take that into consideration. Texas weather is fairly mild for the majority of the year but if you are here during a freeze or an extremely hot spell then your stay might take on more of a glamping feel. Just know, we do our best to make your time in jail as comfortable and accommodating as possible!
Please check the weather prior to booking and pack accordingly.
