Limestone Correctional Facility

Limestone Correctional Facility is an Alabama Department of Corrections state prison for men located in Harvest, Limestone County, Alabama.

This institution is classified as a maximum security correctional facility.

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.

[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.
