Summary
At its March 3 meeting in Montgomery, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied parole for 13 people and granted parole or pardons for 13 others; several releases carry conditions such as halfway-house placement, GPS monitoring, treatment and training requirements.
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles met March 3 in Montgomery and issued decisions on 26 docketed cases, denying parole for 13 people and granting parole or pardons for 13 others, the board recorded in its meeting minutes.
Chair Hal Nash and board member Gabrelle Simmons presided; Nicole Lewis served as the board secretary and recorded the actions. The board conducted the hearings under Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22.
Why it matters: Parole grants often include conditions that affect supervision and services after release — such as approved halfway-house placement, GPS ankle monitoring, required substance‑use and mental‑health follow-up and vocational or reentry training — while pardons can restore civil or political rights or carry specified restrictions.
