A man serving time at the Limestone Correctional Facility was found unresponsive in his bed and transported to the hospital.
According to ADOC, Shelton was found unresponsive in his bed and taken to a medical unit, where staff determined he had been stabbed.Limestone Correctional is in Limestone County. It is designed to hold a maximum of 1,628 inmates but as of the end of May, the most recent data available, held 2,339 inmates.
According to a statistical report released last month, the prison had 13 inmate-on-inmate assaults in May, and has had 69 such assaults this year. ADOC reported 32 year-to-date inmate assaults of prison staff. The U.S. Department of Justice has sued Alabama over a prison system it says is riddled with prisoner-on-prisoner and guard-on-prisoner violence. This month, Alabama officials issued $509 million in bonds to assist in the $1.2 billion construction of two supersize prisons to be located in Elmore and Escambia counties.
The Justice Department has said that dilapidated prison facilities were a contributing factor to the unconstitutional conditions but wrote “new facilities alone will not resolve” the matter because of problems in culture, management deficiencies, corruption, violence and other problems.
