As we sit and wonder what our legislation is doing about the prisons in Alabama.....we read an article online that the House GOP Caucus met on Wednesday of this week! This week you say? Wow! We were just asking questions. What's going on? What's Alabama's plan on the current prison situation? Why is the Alabama Parole hearings going like they are? Why is no one being paroled? Is this legal is this humane? However, we didn't hear anything. Nobody knew anything then THIS. A meeting? The GOP Caucus? Well, what did they talk about >> what do they think about OUR prisons in Alabama not meeting minor standards such as over population and sanitation.
It appears the Alabama House Republican met for over 2 hours about BUILDING more prisons and basically financing through America Plans for Rescue. I believe that is our COVID money to help residents of Alabama that suffered great financial loses during the Pandemic. However, our Governor and Republican law makers want to use it to House our People! LET OUR PEOPLE GO!
I can list ALL the things the state is being sued over through the Federal Department of Corrections but I won't because you have heard it all before! It's ridiculous and outrageous!
The Alabama Department of Pardon and Paroles meet approximately 3 times weekly, generally on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They see approximately 31 inmates each time. They are approving approximately 1 to 2 per hearing. ONE to TWO! Where is that fair anywhere? Where is that giving OUR people any hope? BUT a meeting is held about adding more prisons and possibly upgrading 1 in Barbour or Bullock county. Where is the Justice? Where is the Peace? Where are we headed? Where does this leave Alabama?
I say...No Justice >>>>> NO PEACE.
We STAND for our brothers and sisters in the Alabama Department of Corrections. We STAND! We SHOUT! WE PRAY!
