DOJ: Alabama prisoners exposed to horrifying violence, rape; murders a 'regular' occurrence
WASHINGTON – Prison inmates in Alabama are routinely subjected to horrifying violence and sexual abuse within "a broken system" where people are murdered "on a regular basis," according to a Justice Department review.
Federal investigators who spent more than two years scrutinizing the prisons in a state that incarcerates more people per capita than almost any other found illegal drugs and weapons were rampant, cellblocks were overcrowded and dilapidated and the few poorly trained officers on duty appeared powerless to establish any semblance of control.
Violence, murder, rape in Alabama prisons unconstitutional, DOJ says
Reading this it is very concerning. Doesn't matter why they are in prison. The violence and abuse is inexcusable.
