What they should do is limit the number of appeals and reinstate the death penalty!!!! And I think this is as good as letting the money go to those with tax issues and those committing fraud! Also if you have a criminal record...you get no $$$!!!!!!!!!!

"Amid a national debate over the use of pandemic relief funds, Alabama lawmakers swiftly approved a plan Friday to tap $400 million from the American Rescue Plan to help build two super-size prisons, brushing off criticism from congressional Democrats the money was not intended for such projects.
The Alabama Legislature gave final approval to the $1.3 billion prison construction plan, and to a separate bill to steer $400 million of the state's $2.1 billion from the rescue funds to pay for it.
With legislative leaders standing behind her, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the bills into law soon afterward. The Republican called the construction plan "a major step forward" for the prison system, which faces various federal court orders and a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice."
