How to Help
The crisis in Alabama’s prisons continues. People are dying at unprecedented rates, families are living with constant fear, and the state’s own data shows a system marked by violence and neglect.
In January, Melvin Ray, Robert Earl Council (Kinetik Justice), and Raoul Poole — three incarcerated whistleblowers featured in the film “The Alabama Solution” — were abruptly transferred to solitary confinement at Kilby Correctional Facility. After a month, Melvin was returned to general population. However, Robert Earl and Raoul remain in solitary confinement with no end in sight.
We need your help to demand the safety of these men and all those incarcerated in Alabama’s prisons. Your voice matters — here are ways to use it.
Demand accountability for violence, corruption, and coverups in Alabama prisons.
If abuse, corruption and coverups are allowed to happen in Alabama prisons, they can happen anywhere.
Demand accountability for killer officers.
As a first step to demonstrating that Alabama won’t tolerate abusive officers, state leaders must take immediate action.
People in Alabama prisons are being harmed — and the state continues to protect those responsible.
Support the men who exposed the crisis.
Donate to the brave whistleblowers in The Alabama Solution who risked everything to expose brutality and corruption inside Alabama prisons.
Support Melvin Ray, Ricardo “Raoul” Poole, and Kinetik Justice (Robert Earl Council).
Read the new brief.
Since 2020, the Alabama Department of Corrections has spent at least $68 million in taxpayer dollars on legal defense and settlements tied to violence, neglect, and preventable harm inside state prisons.
The brief documents this spending and presents concrete alternatives that would have made Alabamians healthier, safer, and more secure.
