But the confusion over it, the later Kilby Prison (long since gone) and Julia Tutwiler prison for women may be somewhat cleared by visiting the State's history of the Department of Corrections. It's a long and interesting (as well as detailed) description of the Department's entire history. <http://agencies.state.al.us/doc/history.htm> = Steve =
