This is a remarkable admission by @ALCorrections. They're admitting that 1) the strike is still underway across most of their prisons 2) #ShutDownADOC2022 has dramatically affected their ability to provide basic food and other services 
I've been doing media support work for prison strikes since 2016. I've never seen an admission like this. As they note, families are worried. As they don't note, prisoners are posting ADOC's pathetic "holiday" meal options which don't meet dietary requirements of many prisoners
The Free Alabama Movement's thesis for years has been that DOCs do not have the labor to operate the prisons without prison labor, at least not for any length of time. We're on day 3 of the strike and already the prison system is basically admitting that thesis is correct.
Important to note, prisoncrats hate making statements to the press. Unless they're denials. It goes against even how they train themselves to respond in these situations. In 2018 @NLGnews exposed these strategies. Click the link for more info on it: nlg.org/plan-prison-st…
