MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WBRC) - A lawsuit filed Tuesday in Montgomery County Circuit Court seeks to stop the progress on the stateâs mega-prison construction plan that carries a $3 billion dollar price tag.
Governor Kay Ivey and Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner Jeff Dunn are named as defendants in the case.
Ivey signed two contracts with the prison giant CoreCivic in February to build mega-prisons in Elmore and Escambia counties. With these 30-year contracts, the prisons will be operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections and maintained by CoreCivic throughout the duration of the lease.
