CoreCivic unable to secure funding for mega-prisons

(File) This 376 acre parcel of land on Rifle Range Road was slated to be the site for one of the three new state mega-prisons.

The state’s plan to construct three mega-prisons has hit a roadblock. One of the proposed mega-prisons was slated for construction just outside of the Tallassee city limits on Riffle Range Road.

However, CoreCivic, the company that was slated to build two of the prisons and lease the facilities to the State of Alabama, was unable to secure funding for the project.
