Alabama was offered the option of working with the Justice Dept to fix the abuses in its prison system when the issues were first brought to light. Instead, they became the first state to force DOJ to sue them. Well, men continued to die and live in constitutionally deficient conditions. Alabama chose to build new prison instead of fixing documented problems, follow the money.
There's something fishy going on in Alabama. Their state legislature set aside $1.3 billion to build 2 new "mega-prisons," but the construction of just the first facility has ballooned in price and devoured almost the entire $1.3 billion budget by itself. Total estimates for both projects have now expanded to $2.2 billion.
That comes out to $300,000 per bed.
The speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives called on the construction to be paused because costs are spiraling out of control, but Alabama's governor Kay Ivey rejected that request. Even high-ranking Republicans in Alabama are unhappy with this.
A single construction project involving mass incarceration has doubled in cost and fallen years behind schedule with little to no public oversight. I smell a much bigger story involving criminal activity, mismanagement, and financial corruption. And the consequences of this are putting Alabama further and further into debt.
Alabama is on a stretched budget with limited revenue streams. Spending $2.2 billion on 2 buildings meant for mass incarceration blatantly wastes funds that could otherwise go toward public education, food, rural hospitals, or housing. This should be much bigger news.

Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump.
Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president.
AES: True.
Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.
AES: True.
Q: Why are you taking that approach?
AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.

Stifler's mom says the role got her "like 200 people" she would have never slept with. One night a young guy took off his shirt and she saw "1987" tattooed across his chest. She asked what band that was. He said: "That's the year I was born." Then they had to call his mother.
In the video below, Jennifer Coolidge tells it herself. Watch her face when she gets to the part about his mom.
American Pie is the movie everyone remembers for a warm apple pie. But her few minutes on screen, seducing her son's classmate Finch on a pool table, gave the world a new word: "MILF."
She was 37. Then Hollywood kept handing her the same joke for 20 years. In her own words, she survived on "little jobs" and "five different sequels of American Pie. I milked that to the bone."
Then Mike White wrote The White Lotus for her. She almost said no because she "didn't like the way she looked." At 61 she won an Emmy.
That year she told Variety about the 200. A few months later she told Ariana Grande it was "sort of an exaggeration." About the young guy: "Legal, of course."
Now the ex-boyfriends are calling again. Her take: "People are really that shallow."
The pie made the movie famous. The mom made it immortal.
So which one do you believe: the 200, or the "exaggeration"?
