Alabama parole board denies most requests, grants 12 paroles and pardons with conditions
Summary
At its Nov. 12 meeting in Montgomery the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied 27 requests and approved 12 actions (parole releases or pardons), many with conditions such as PREP, GPS monitoring or placement in day‑reporting/halfway programs.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles convened Nov. 12, 2025, and acted on 39 docketed cases, denying 27 requests and approving 12 paroles or pardons, several with specialized conditions.
The board, chaired by Hal Nash, considered individual presentations from family members, attorneys and representatives including Venesha Bradley of VOCAL and India Eaves, the Attorney General’s victim‑services officer. Many parole grants included conditions such as completion of the Perry County Probation/Parole Reentry Education Program (PREP), placement in a day‑reporting center or halfway house, participation in NA/AA, GPS ankle monitoring, and mental‑health and drug assessments on release. Several denied paroles included reset dates ranging from 2026 to 2030; a small number were denied with no reset date recorded.
Why it matters: These decisions affect release timing and supervision for dozens of incarcerated people and restore civil and political rights in a handful of pardon cases. Grants that include GPS monitoring or program placement aim to tie release to reentry requirements; denials generally set future review dates (resets) or, in some cases, no reset date.
