Alabama inmates go on strike to protest ‘deplorable’ conditions, unpaid labour Guards asleep on duty, meagre meals and cells covered in filth: incarcerated people across the southern US state of Alabama have refused to work since September 26 in protest against shocking conditions in overcrowded facilities, including violence, neglect and poor hygiene. The strike has brought prisons, which depend on and profit from inmate labour, to a standstill. The inmates say they won’t go back to work until changes are made to Alabama’s criminal justice system.
