Seventy women inmates were transferred in the middle of the night from overcrowded Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka to a private penitentiary in Louisiana. Prison Commissioner Donal Campbell says the women left Tutwiler in a bus at about 10:30 Sunday night and arrived at South Louisiana Correctional Facility in Basile, Louisiana shortly after 6:00 Monday morning. He says the transfer was not announced in advance for security reasons. The legal adviser to Governor Riley, Troy King, says the state entered into an emergency contract with LCS to hold the inmates for up to 60 days. The state will pay LCS $24 a day. Campbell says it costs the state $27 a day to keep inmates in Alabama. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson ruled last year that Tutwiler is dangerously overcrowded and understaffed. |
