This promotional event brought increased tourism and revenue to Alabama. The logo was designed by Luckie & Company (Birmingham) and was inspired by the Pine Burr Quilt, designated the official quilt of Alabama by the Legislature in 1997. The quilt represents the traditions and history of Alabama. It also honors the Freedom Quilting Bee, a women’s cooperative organized as an outgrowth of the Civil Rights Movement. The logo is based on a version of the Pine Burr quilt by Qunnie Pettway and her daughter Loretta Pettway Bennett.

CRIP A authorizes the Department of Justice ("001") to seek equitable relief where prison conditions violate the constitutional ri ghts ofprisoners in state cOlTectional facilities. Consistent witl1 the statutory requirements of CRIPA, we write to infonn you of our findings, the facts SUppoliing tl1em, and the minimum remedial steps necessary to address the identified deficiencies. We conclude that the State of Alabama violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution by failing to protect women plisoners at Tutwiler from ham1 due to sexual abuse and harassment from correctional staff. Tutwiler has a history of unabated staff-on-prisoner sexual abuse and harassment. The women at Tutwiler universally fear for their safety. They live in a sexualized envirolunent with repeated and open sexual behavior, including: abusive sexual contact between staff and prisoners; sexualized activity, including a strip show condoned by staff; profane and unprofessional sexualized language and harassment; and deliberate cross-gender viewing of prisoners showering, urinating, and defecating. The inappropriate sexual behavior, including sexual abuse, continues, and is grossly undelTepOlied, due to insufficient staffing and supervision, inadequate policies and procedures, a heightened fear of retaliation, and an inadequate investigative process.

I was born in 1917. My mother was named Patty Pettway, my daddy was named Warren Pettway. They farmed. I was a little girl when my mother passed. My daddy remarried after my mother passed, and I had one of the hardest times you going to have. I started raising the little children, my brothers and sisters, and I had to go to the fields and work in the mud and water. And my stepmother was kind of really mean. I do the best I could. I came up hard. In the fields I was hoeing corn, picking cotton, pulling fodder.
