Communities Not Prisons is a coalition of people, communities, and organizations committed to stopping the ill-conceived construction of prisons being forced upon Bibb, Elmore, and Escambia counties. This is a local fight with statewide and national implications. Communities Not Prisons is a local, Alabama-led effort, and we are joined by equally determined regional and national partners who recognize that the consequences of this prison construction plan will extend far beyond the county line.
