Lynch went through Talladega fed'l prison, meeting w inmates taking a class & those working in UNICOR program, making Army combat trousers.
Lynch then held a roundtable w/ five inmates, talking about the prison programs that help prepare them for re-entry, focused on job issues.
Finally, Lynch visited the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), a specialized, 9-month program at Talladega FCI, where she spoke at a mtg.
After, she met and talked with four of the RDAP participants about the program, their recovery efforts, and the program's effects on them.

AG Lynch is asked about Clinton email investigation, if it will be done before Dem convention. AG: "That's an open and ongoing matter."
For that reason, Lynch will not comment. "We don't make predictions on time, also," citing need for a thorough, independent investigation.
