Traditionally, all things dealing with the prisons and the Alabama Department of Corrections has been a Democratic Party issue. However, with Alabama’s prisons potentially in violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution and Republicans in control of all levers of power in Montgomery, it is a GOP issue.

The question is, how will a Republican supermajority in the State House deal with a threat from the Department of Justice in 2020?
