Issue Position: Department of Correction

Issue Position

Having served on the Board of Aid to Inmate Mothers, I have seen firsthand the inhumane overcrowding of our state's prison system. We need to be provide adequate mental health services and to develop mental health institutions that meet the needs of Alabamians..

I will:

Work to resolve the overcrowding and mental health issues in our prison system.

Vote to invest funds in DOC, so that we can meet citizens' needs, rather than paying for lawsuits

Advocate for the safety of correction officers.

Hire adequate staff within the DOC.
