The Justice Department last Friday filed an updated complaint in its ongoing lawsuit against Alabama over prison conditions. Department of Justice says conditions in the state’s prisons have not improved since the federal government warned three years ago of unconstitutional conditions that were noted in particular as deadly and dangerous for male inmates.
