Rifle Range Road named proposed location of Elmore County prison

(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.

Governor Kay Ivey issued an update regarding the Alabama Prison Program today, Friday, Oct.2.

The locations for two other new prisons in the state were announced early in September and many were left wondering which of the two Elmore County sites would be chosen to construct a new prison, known as Facility Two.
