[edit] Barksdale records opened

"A Montgomery judge has ruled the Alabama Department of Corrections must comply with the state’s Open Records Act and release the results of its investigation into the death of inmate Farron Barksdale.

Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Eugene W. Reese instructed DOC Commissioner Richard Allen to provide the records in an order released Wednesday.

In doing so, Reese dismissed the case Mary Barksdale filed against Allen in an attempt to find out how her son ended up comatose in his cell just three days after entering the state’s prison system."
