SHARE:
It took about two days of constant phone calls, emails with friends and acquaintances and social media posts for Margo Schlanger to figure out how to successfully secure a COVID-19 vaccine appointment for her 82-year-old father.

Gov. Kay Ivey has consistently said that “an Alabama solution” is the way to fix the state’s overcrowded, understaffed, and violent state prisons, but that won’t happen without new input from a federal court.
The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state in U.S. District Court in Birmingham on Wednesday, alleging that Alabama violates the constitutional rights of prisoners by failure to protect them from assaults and sexual abuse from other inmates, excessive force by correctional officers, and failure to provide safe and sanitary conditions. ....
