New State Prisons Bill Dies

Gov. Robert Bentley's plan to build new state prisons died tonight with the end of the legislative session.
The House of Representatives let the bill die after the Senate approved a revised version at about 10:50 p.m.
The plan initially called for borrowing up to $800 million to build three new men's prisons and a new women's prison to replace Julia Tutwiler Prison.
A conference committee scaled it back to two men's prisons, the women's prison and a total bond issue of up to $550 million tonight.
The Senate passed that version by a vote of 23-12.
That left enough time for it to pass the House before the session ended at midnight.
But the House did not take it up for a vote.
