Limestone and the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women were the two Alabama state prisons in which HIV positive inmates were segregated, a practice that Alabama and South Carolina claimed stopped the spread of the virus and lowered overall medical costs.^[2][3] On December 21, 2012, U.S. District Court Justice Myron Herbert Thompson found that the segregation violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.^[4]

The prison operates a farming and cattle operation on its surrounding 1,600 acres (650 ha) of land.^[1]

Limestone has garnered media attention in the past several years for various controversies, including documented abuse and mistreatment of individuals in their custody,^[5] dilapidated and unsafe facilities,^[6] staff shortages, and corruption^[7] among leadership. Among these also include accusations of organ harvesting,^[8][9][10] as families of people who have died while incarcerated have discovered their loved ones missing various organs.^[11]
