Background

Chalkville Campus was a correctional facility for girls of the Alabama Department of Youth Services, in the Chalkville area, in Jefferson County, Alabama. In 1909 the Protestant Women of Birmingham created a youth corrections program that became the Chalkville campus. By 2002 100 former students who attended in the period 1993 to 2001 accused the school of abuse, with forty of them joining a lawsuit in federal court. The State of Alabama settled the lawsuit for $12,500,000. Some persons lost their jobs.
