Yolanda Flowers on Crime

 

 


Private prisons have corrupted Alabama's justice system

We all know that the criminal justice system is biased in our state. Advocacy, investigations, and "ground-up" change are needed to ensure that our system works for all Alabamians. Citizens should trust their justice system to do what is right regardless of the color of their skin. Private prisons have corrupted Alabama's justice system.

Alabama's prisons systems have always been an issue, but it has come into the spotlight recently. Alabama's correctional facilities need proper funding, but there are other things that can be done to help the system as well. Yolanda does not approve of Governor Ivey's allocation of funds to build more prisons.

Hire police, prison guards who are psychologically suited

Flowers said that the state needs to hire law enforcement and prison guards with the right mentality for the job and that not everybody is psychologically suited for those positions.

"You have to have a mind for that and a heart for that," Flowers said. "You have to be able to apprehend somebody without shooting them. "Everybody is not qualified mentally to carry a gun. A lot of people do not know how to handle power."
