The Alabama Department of Corrections asked the U.S. Treasury Department this past week whether the state could use COVID-19 recovery funds for better, enhanced, and/or extended infrastructure to address the fallout from the pandemic in the prison system.
The letter from ADOC Commissioner Jeff Dunn, which framed the request as enhancing health care and programming for inmates, reflects ongoing discussions by legislators about using pandemic recovery funds for prison construction, following the collapse of Gov.
