Alabama Bound (at the Wrists and Ankles) 0
At Above the Law, Tyler Broker explores Alabama’s disregard for the rights of its citizens against the background its claim to respect a “right to life.” A snippet:
For example, if you have the stomach for horrific detail, read about the Alabama prison system where rape, murder, and suicide (not to mention exceptionally disproportional rates of incarceration by race) are regular occurrences due to Alabama’s gross unconstitutional negligence towards protecting life. Furthermore, if you are a woman in the Alabama prison system, it is not just the other inmates that you have to worry about sexually assaulting you, it is the prison guards you should fear more. Even if you think that prisoners deserve be treated this way and denied constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment, these are hardly the actions of a state with a “deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God.”
