    U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Office of the Assistant AI/orn ey Genera l Washillgtoll, D.C. 20530 The Honorable Robeli Bentley Govemor JAN 172014 State Capitol 600 Dexter Avenue Montgomery, AL 36130 Re: Investigation of the Julia Tutwiler Plison for Women and Notice of Expanded Investigation Dear Govemor Bentley: The Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division has concluded its investigation of allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment at the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women pursuant to the Civil Rights ofInstitutionalized Persons Act ("CRIP A"), 42 U.S.C. § 1997. 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.
