What a way to run corrections. “Hamm said the Escambia County prison will use the same design as the Elmore County prison, except it will not have the specialized facilities for medical and mental health care.” https://www.al.com/news/2023/09/final-price-tag-on-alabamas-new-4000-bed-prison-could-top-1-billion.html
@AlliFlowers awful. Just awful.
Lately we have had intake staff at a local juvenile detention facility refusing to take kids in custody without ER docs declaring them both “medically and mentally cleared” for jail, whatever that even means to them. If you can’t keep people safe in jail, you shouldn’t have a jail.
