Board denies most pardon/parole requests, issues limited pardons and conditional paroles
Summary
At its April 28 meeting in Montgomery the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied the majority of requests on its docket, granted a small number of pardons (some with restrictions) and issued conditional paroles requiring halfway-house placement, GPS monitoring, and reentry programming.
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles processed a full docket of pardon and parole requests on April 28, 2026, voting unanimously on each item with the two members present. The board denied most requests, set reset dates for several parole denials, and approved a limited number of pardons and conditional paroles with specific supervision conditions.
Notable outcomes included a parole grant for David O. Hammonds (AIS# 132150) contingent on placement in an approved halfway house, a GPS ankle monitor, mental health follow-up and a drug assessment upon release; a full pardon with restoration of civil and political rights for Alfred E. Walker Sr. (AIS# 155148); limited pardons restoring voting rights only for Robert Worley III (AIS# 318592) and Willie M. Battle (AIS# 217732); and pardons with statutory restrictions lifted on habitual-offender and firearms disabilities for Wayne T. Bailey (AIS# 827447) and Anthony J. Richardson (AIS# 818604). The board also granted parole with reentry program and monitoring conditions for Kenneth W. Hudson (AIS# 237395) and Thomas H. Jordan (AIS# 234147).
Most other docket entries were denied; many denials included a reset date for the next eligibility review (examples: Larry Reid reset April 2031; Joseph Clark reset April 2030; Darren Williams reset April 2029). The board recorded each vote as unanimous in the meeting minutes. The board also recorded the approval of minutes from the April 23 meeting and adjourned at 12:50 p.m.
