Alabama’s correctional facilities are often plagued by issues such as overcrowding, unsafe living conditions, inadequate medical care, abusive conduct by correctional staff, and systemic neglect. These conditions can lead to tragic consequences for inmates and their families, infringing on the essential protections guaranteed under the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. As dedicated civil rights attorneys, Johnston Moore & Weston confront these violations head-on to demand accountability and justice.

Why Protecting Constitutional Rights Matters

Every individual, regardless of their circumstances, is entitled to humane treatment under the law. The 8th Amendment explicitly prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, deliberate indifference to medical needs, and inhumane living conditions. However, many inmates in Alabama face significant injustices, including:

• Overcrowded and unsanitary jail environments.
• Excessive use of force by correctional staff.
• Neglect of serious medical and mental health needs.
• Deprivation of basic human rights.

These systemic failures not only harm inmates but also reflect larger injustices within Alabama’s correctional system. Families and individuals impacted by these conditions deserve both compassion and skilled legal representation as they seek to hold correctional institutions accountable.
