Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles denies multiple parole requests, grants several pardons and paroles with conditions
Summary
At its Feb. 25, 2026 meeting in Montgomery, the Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles denied multiple parole requests (some with reset dates) and granted several pardons and paroles — including full pardons with restrictions that relieve firearms disabilities and grants of parole with reentry conditions.
The Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles, chaired by Hal Nash, met Feb. 25, 2026, in Montgomery and considered its daily docket under Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22. The board heard public statements from family members, victims’ relatives and representatives from VOCAL and the Attorney General’s Victim Services Office (VSO) before taking votes on pardon and parole requests.
Board members recorded a mix of denials and approvals. Notable actions included full pardons granted to Patrick L. Humphrey and Jason R. Charnock with restrictions, including relief from firearms disabilities; pardons for William H. Matthews and Angelia M. Joseph with similar restrictions; and multiple parole approvals that carry reentry conditions such as placement in an approved halfway house or the Perry County PREP program, GPS monitoring, NA/AA participation, and required mental health and drug assessments.
The meeting record shows several denials where the minutes specify reset review dates (for example, Mary A. Miller’s reset date was set to February 2031; Richard L. Morgan’s to February 2029). The minutes do not record individual vote tallies for each docket item in the text distributed with the meeting summary; the actions below describe the recorded outcomes as noted in the board’s minutes.
