Federal investigators found Alabama's prison system characterized by widespread violence and dangerous conditions. The finding came from the federal court system, not an NGO or activist group—it's judicial fact-finding about what's happening inside the state's prisons.
Pervasive violence means it's not isolated incidents. It means inmates are regularly in danger from other inmates or guards, and the system either can't or won't stop it. A federal court documenting this creates a record that the state is aware and has been told to address it. What matters next is whether Alabama actually changes conditions or faces further legal consequences.
