Walker County Jail falling apart

The Walker County Jail is the best example of the worst jail in the state of Alabama. The jail is in disrepair and falling apart as it is built on an old Jasper City land-fill area. The foundation is being undermined by rainwater. The cell door locks are all broken and the inmates cannot be secured in their cells, which do not have lights inside, just exposed electrical wires hanging down. The roofing contract for the Walker County Jail was a political pay-off. Assaults, rapes and deaths happen and are not being investigated. There are gross violations at this county jail that need to be corrected and an audit/investigation on the $27 million debt still owed on this twenty year old dilapidated jail.
