Summary
At its Oct. 21, 2025 meeting in Montgomery the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied the majority of parole petitions, continued a hearing, granted several full pardons restoring civil and political rights, and approved select paroles with detailed conditions, including treatment and GPS monitoring.
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles met Oct. 21, 2025, in Montgomery to consider parole and pardon petitions under Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22. Chair Hal Nash presided and the board approved prior minutes before proceeding through a daily docket of parole and pardon cases.
The board denied the majority of parole requests presented during the session, and it set a range of reset dates where noted. Several pardons and restorations of civil and political rights were granted after the lunch recess. The board also approved a limited number of paroles with specific post-release conditions, including enrollment in the Perry County Probation/Parole Reentry Education Program (PREP), substance-abuse programming, mental health follow-up, GPS ankle monitoring, required community service hours and approved halfway‑house placement.
Notable outcomes included the board’s decision to grant parole to Tommy J. Rogers (AIS# 246679) with multiple special conditions: completion of the Perry County PREP, NA/AA participation, mental health follow-up, GPS ankle monitor, 1,000 hours of community service, placement in an approved halfway house, drug assessment upon release and referral to Alabama Appleseed for reentry assistance. The board denied parole for Harold D. Holt (AIS# 149671) with a reset date of October 2028 and denied parole for Henry T. Perryman (AIS# 323777) with a reset date of October 2030.
After recess, the board granted full pardons restoring all civil and political rights for Michael Wrenn (AIS# 192645), Wesley A. Robinson (AIS# 827691), Timothy A. Osbourne (AIS# 827685) and Mary F. Nash (AIS# 827692). Several other pardons were granted with limitations that specified relief from habitual-offender provisions and firearms disabilities (for example, Michael Cole, AIS# 235423, received a pardon limited to relief from the habitual-offender act and firearms disabilities).
Speakers opposing parole petitions during the session frequently included Jackie Fowler (VSO, Attorney General’s Office) and Bill Lisenby (VOCAL). Family members, attorneys and community groups spoke in support of several applicants; for example, Alabama Appleseed representatives and family members spoke on behalf of Tommy J. Rogers.
