alabama prison: Alabama is building the most expensive prison in US history at a cost of $1 billion
Alabama's Elmore County has approved the construction of a $1.08 billion, 4,000-bed prison, making it the most expensive prison in US history. The facility aims to address overcrowding and improve living conditions, but critics argue that the money could have been better spent on mental health resources and counseling to reduce the prison population.
