The main reason Alabama is building more prisons is because putting people behind bars is a big money maker for them. Some people are in prison or jail because they need to be but Alabama has a record of putting some in so they can make MEGA BUCKS when In reality they could be on probation or get fines .Once someone is incarcerated there is no visitation other than video that you pay for and pay for phone calls,and Everything the inmates need has to be purchased through their stores they are monopolizing on this ! they don't even supply towels or wash clothes or soap !
