Limestone Correctional Facility is an Alabama Department of Corrections state prison for men located in Harvest, Limestone County, Alabama.[1] Opened in October 1984 and with a capacity of 2086 prisoners, Limestone is the largest prison in the Alabama state system. This institution is classified as a maximum security correctional facility. As of March 2024, the prison was 15% over capacity at 2,398 inmates.
Limestone and the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women were the two Alabama state prisons in which HIV positive inmates were segregated, a practice that Alabama and South Carolina claimed stopped the spread of the virus and lowered overall medical costs.[2][3] On December 21, 2012, U.S. District Court Justice Myron Herbert Thompson found that the segregation violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.[4]
The prison operates a farming and cattle operation on its surrounding 1,600 acres (650 ha) of land.[1]
Limestone has garnered media attention in the past several years for various controversies, including documented abuse and mistreatment of individuals in their custody, [5]dilapidated and unsafe facilities, [6]staff shortages, and corruption[7] among leadership. Among these also include accusations of organ harvesting,[8][9][10] as families of people who have died while incarcerated have discovered their loved ones missing various organs. [11]
