ALICEVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama is getting a new federal lockup, so says the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. The agency said a medium-security prison for women will be built 2 miles north of Aliceville in Pickens County. The facility would house 1,400 inmates.
According to Democratic state Rep. Alan Harper of Aliceville, the prison will mean the addition of 350 new jobs to Black Belt communities. Montgomery-based Caddell/Yates was awarded a $1.8 million contract to build the facility, which is expected to be completed in 2011. Alabama already has two federal prisons for men. They are located in Talladega and Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery.  Add as favourites (201) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 885
