the beds are thin and do not have much padding. there is nothing luxurious about the bedding. you might not get a pillow either. what i used to do was to collect several rolls of toilet paper and put them inside a towel to use as a pillow. there is heat is all facilities but many state prisons do NOT have air conditioning - especially bad in Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Arizona during the summer
