概要
In this episode, we take a hard, data-driven look at the economics of Alabama’s prison system—what’s working, what’s failing, and who ultimately pays the price. We examine where revenue is generated through prison labor, contracts, and services, and contrast it with mounting losses tied to mismanagement, lawsuits, medical neglect, understaffing, and violence.
Using publicly available reports and real-world examples, we break down how billions in taxpayer dollars flow through the system while outcomes remain poor: unsafe facilities, rising legal liabilities, disrupted family communication, and missed opportunities for rehabilitation that could actually reduce long-term costs. We also explore how short-term financial “wins” can mask long-term failures that undermine public safety and fiscal responsibility.
This episode isn’t about ideology—it’s about accountability. If Alabama wants safer prisons, safer communities, and smarter use of taxpayer money, the financial realities can’t be ignored. We close by discussing how evidence-based reform and modern technology could shift the system from reactive spending to measurable returns for the state and its citizens.
