Alabama lawmakers gave sweeping changes to Alabama’s prison system final approval this week. The legislature hopes these sentencing and probation reforms will alleviate some of the overcrowded prison system’s worst problems. For more on this, and the rest of the week’s news from Montgomery, we turn to Don Dailey. He’s the host of Capitol Journal on Alabama Public Television, and he joins WBHM each Friday during the legislative session.
Dailey discusses if these prison reforms can work given the state’s budget shortfall of more than $280 million, plus Republican’s new budget proposal.
