Alabama is in the process of constructing an exceptionally large prison at a cost exceeding $1 billion, marking the most expensive incarceration facility in U.S. history.

The Alabama Corrections Institution Finance Authority recently finalized the project’s price at $1.08 billion for the 4,000-bed prison, currently being built in Elmore County.

Alabama is not the sole state moving forward with ambitious plans for larger and more expensive prisons.

Advocates for such facilities argue that addressing issues like overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and the lack of mental health resources in existing facilities is essential.

Nebraska is embarking on a $350 million project to construct a 1,500-bed prison, intended to replace the Nebraska State Penitentiary, Yahoo News reported.
