More than a decade of federal oversight at Alabama’s Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women has officially come to an end after a federal judge dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice’s case against the Alabama Department of Corrections, terminating the consent decree that had governed the Wetumpka prison since 2015. U.S. District Judge Myron H. Thompson signed an order Thursday terminating the consent decree after the United States withdrew its opposition and the parties agreed to end the remaining provisions. The consent decree stemmed from a 2015 Justice Department lawsuit alleging a pattern of sexual abuse and sexual harassment by correctional officers at the prison. According to Marshall’s office, an independent monitor found Tutwiler in compliance with all 44 requirements of the consent decree. With the judgment, the Alabama Department of Corrections is no longer operating under court-ordered federal oversight tied to the Tutwiler case.
