AN ALABAMA PROBLEM

“I’ve been stabbed since I’ve been in prison. I was stabbed in my sleep.”

— Alonzo Goines, incarcerated in Alabama’s prisons for more than a decade

The report came out in early April 2019.

In graphic detail, the U.S. Department of Justice recounted dozens of stories of men stabbed in the head, beaten with metal locks and repeatedly raped inside Alabama’s prisons.

The report said “Alabama is incarcerating prisoners under conditions that pose a substantial risk of serious harm” and “Alabama is deliberately indifferent to that harm.”

People inside prison don’t need to read the report.

They live it every day.
