In the Tutwiler, AL, prison, women are doubled up and roughed up: there are 793 women in 208 positions. And there are lawsuits everywhere alleging sexual abuse, etc. What there doesn’t seem enough of is money–money for security cameras, for instance. Oddly, the legislature took $16 million from the state’s Children’s Trust Fund to buy the new equipment, but, hey. Improvements take time. What there isn’t enough of, also, is time. Abuse continues while the prison officials insist that changing security electronics in the old prison will take until the end of the next year.
