Draper Correctional Facility

Draper Correctional facility houses over 1200 inmates.  The prison prides itself on the work ethic of the inmates, and in doing so provides inmates with a multitude of jobs from a large farming and agricultural unit, to vocational jobs such as creating furniture and learning mechanic skills.  As they say 'Idle hands are the devils playthings", draper has reduced the number of inmates who have idle hands by instituting this hard work ethic, and at the same time taught many inmates a new useable skill.

Draper is one of the older facilities in Alabama and originally housed only male inmates.  Today the facility houses both male and female inmates but in separate dormitory settings.
