THE GREENE COUNTY DEMOCRAT - Quinton Caldwell, a former inmate of the Alabama Prison system said, “We do not need to build more prisons, we need to build job centers, rehabilitation programs for substance abuse and mental health problems. The Alabama prison system is the equivalent of ‘modern day slavery’. Prisoners work ten hours a day with no pay; there is not rehabilitation, health care is a myth. We need to use our votes to elect people who will change and reform the system.
