MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) A judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s plan to lease prisons that would be owned by private companies and operated by the state.
Montgomery Circuit Judge Greg Griffin granted the state s motion to dismiss the lawsuit after rejecting plaintiffs claims that the leases are unconstitutional. Among other grounds, the lawsuit contended the leases violate state law because the massive $3 billion expenditure was not approved by the Alabama Legislature and is an unconstitutional debt. Specifically, this Court finds that the Leases do not constitute a debt to the state, and therefore are not unconstitutional, Griffin wrote.

Montgomery County Circuit Judge Greg Griffin today dismissed a lawsuit filed by State Auditor Jim Zeigler and others challenging Gov. Kay Ivey’s plan to lease and operate privately owned prisons.
Griffin granted the request of the Alabama Department of Corrections to dismiss the case, rejecting the claims by Zeigler and the other plaintiffs that the prison leases would violate restrictions in the state Constitution on putting the state of Alabama in debt. Griffin also rejected plaintiffs’ claim that the leases violate a state law that prohibits the ADOC from leasing facilities without consent of the Legislature, as well as other claims.

Alabama prison lawsuit hearing By Lydia Nusbaum | May 14, 2021 at 6:00 PM CDT - Updated May 14 at 8:58 PM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A Montgomery County circuit court judge heard arguments Friday on whether to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to stop the progress on Alabamaâs multi-billion dollar mega-prison construction plan.
Gov. Kay Ivey signed two contracts with the prison giant CoreCivic in February to build two mega-prisons in Elmore and Escambia counties because Alabamaâs current prisons are in terrible condition.
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.
