That it is nicknamed by others as the buckle of the Bible Belt. There would be such crass even vengeful comments. You 'll forgotten "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another".John 13:34 The Judgment of the Nations Matthew 25:31-46 (KJV) 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Or perhaps it may well be only unchurched made previous hatred of their fellowman posts. Please do a search for Prison Fellowship to see why to help and not forget prisoners. If you wish to be angry be angry at our state legislature and governor who treats prisoners as less than human and wonders why we as a state have so many problems. Even the Federal government whose own prisons treat the incarcerated as garbage spoke out against the subhuman treatment by ADOC. In short Alabama is now forced to bring up its prisoner treatment to slightly above No Kill shelters for pets or face a federal suit. The only ones who win then are lawyers. We tax payers pay the bill for the federally mandated minimum standards.What really has me spitting cotton is the idea of some out of state corporation building the prisons and leasing them back to the state. Anybody who know anything about sharecropping knows who makes like out like a bandit while the state who would be the share cropper gets the wrong end of the stick. Guess the legislature was having a bad day to have considered such a proposal. I'm truly surprised Governor Ivey supports renting prison space as a former Alabama State Treasurer. Surely there must be the option of a Federal or private grands in combination with floating bond would be a more politically prudent answer. Creating an honorable mention in history as a Governor with compassion. The likes of which the state has not seen since the days of Gov.

Be sure the inmates aren't inconvenienced or uncomfortable in any way. These terrible conditions are just a disgrace to all these wonderful men and women. We should be ashamed. Now, the schools....thats another story!!! We don't need them at all!! 50 kids to a classroom isn't too many!! DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN....PLEASE HELP THIS MESSED UP COUNTRY. MAKES ME CRY THINKING ABOUT WHAT MY GRANDDCHILDREN WILL HAVE TO ENDURE IN THE FUTURE.

Perhaps they could start hosting musicals and plays at the casino? Hire the former corrections officers as actors and stage personnel. If they cannot behave themselves, then lock them up.

It should be a horrible place WITH MANDATORY HARD LABOR that should be dreaded by those that choose the criminal life - why you ask? BECAUSE IT'S PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start bringing the state into current times rather than trying to keep everything like it was in the 50's. For-profit prisons are nothing but a reason to throw people in jail so the owners get richer - i.e. Jeff Sessions.
