Alabama Department of Corrections. Retrieved on August 15, 2010.〕〔"(Annual Report Fiscal Year 2003 )." Alabama Department of Corrections. 33/84. Retrieved on August 15, 2010.〕 The facility is along Alabama State Highway 21, north of Atmore in southern Alabama.〔 Holman maintains 630 general population beds, 200 single cells, and 168 death row cells, for a capacity of 998 maximum through minimum-custody inmates, including a large contingent of life without parole inmates. The death chamber is located at Holman, where all state executions are conducted. Holman also operates two major correctional industries within the facility's perimeter: a license plate plant and a metal fabrication plant. Holman Correctional Facility was the subject of a documentary on MSNBC entitled ''Lockup: Holman Extended Stay'' (2006).〔(''Lockup: Holman Extended Stay'' ), MSNBC〕 The Warden at Holman Correctional Facility at the time was Grantt Culliver. Culliver was Warden from 2002 - 2009.〔"(Former Holman warden takes serene outlook after 20 executions" ). Posted: Mar 18, 2010 9:32 AM CDT, Updated Mar 18, 2010 11:00 AM CDT. Retrieved on April 20, 2015〕 The current Warden is Tony Patterson. ==History== Opened during December 1969, Holman originally had a basic capacity for 520 medium-custody inmates, including a death row cellblock with a capacity of 20. It was constructed for $5,000,000 during the administration of Governor of Alabama Lurleen Wallace and Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner James T. Hagen. The prisoners of the old Kilby Prison were moved to Holman Prison. It was named in honor of a former warden, William C. Holman.〔 Due in part to legislative rules on penalties for drug crimes, the prison population at Holman and other facilities began to climb in the 1970s. On Friday August 29, 1975, two U.S. district court federal judges, William Brevard Hand and Frank M. Johnson Jr., ordered Alabama authorities to stop sending any more prisoners to Holman, Fountain Correctional Facility, Draper Correctional Facility, and the Medical and Diagnostic Center, due to overcrowding; the four prisons, designed to hold 2,212 prisoners, were holding about 3,800.〔"(Court closes Alabama prison gates )," ''St. Petersburg Times'', 30 August 1975. 2A. Retrieved from Google Books (3 of 56) on July 5, 2011.〕 Since Holman opened, it gained a reputation for being the most violent prison in Alabama, a situation exacerbated by the years of overcrowding. Staff and prisoners said that after Grantt Culliver became the warden, violence decreased. This was covered in the documentary, ''Lockup: Holman Correctional Facility'' (2006), which MSNBC produced. Hillary Heath, the inside producer of ''Lockup'', said that it is difficult for reputations to die down, so Holman still has a reputation for violence.〔"(''Lockup: Holman Correctional Facility'' ), ((Archive )) ''MSNBC'', 11 December 2006, Retrieved on March 5, 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holman Correctional Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
