"The governor, the attorney general, the leadership in the House and the Senate, we were all in one room when were presented with this," Ward said. U.S. Attorney Richard Moore of the Southern District of Alabama said in a statement the findings indicate a "flagrant disregard" for the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishments. "The Constitution guarantees all prisoners the right to be housed in safe conditions and not be subjected to violence and sexual abuse," Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Civil Rights Division said in the press release. Department of Justice announced today there is reasonable cause to believe conditions in Alabama prisons violate the Constitution in a report that includes jolting accounts of violence and death inside the crowded and dangerously understaffed facilities. In 2014, the Justice Department found conditions at Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women were unconstitutional because of a failure to protect inmates from sexual abuse and harassment by male staff.
The Justice Department and the ADOC reached a settlement in 2015 intended to address the problems at Tutwiler. The DOJ said CRIPA investigations of other correctional systems have led to reforms through settlement agreements with those systems. Ward said DOJ officials met with him and other state officials on Tuesday and showed them the report. The report says the investigation included site visits to four prisons -- Donaldson, Bibb, Draper and Holman -- and interviews with prisoners at several others. The DOJ said it would expand its investigation into conditions at Tutwiler. The DOJ said it has given the state written notice of the facts supporting the allegations the minimum steps needed to address them. A third remains pending, the DOJ said -- whether prisoners are adequately protected from excessive use of force by prison staff and sexual abuse by prison staff. Today’s notification, which is about men’s prisons, concerned two of three areas covered by the investigation, whether prisoners were protected from violence and sexual abuse by other inmates and whether conditions were safe. In February, Ivey announced her administration planned to seek proposals from companies to build three men’s prisons and close most of the existing facilities. Kruzan testified that George Gilbert Howard forced her into commercial sex at age 13. Three years later, she shot and killed him.
