The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles met June 17, 2026, in Montgomery and voted on 39 docketed parole and pardon requests. Chaired by Hal Nash, the board — with Board Member Gabrelle Simmons present and Nicole Lewis serving as board secretary — recorded unanimous votes across the docket, denying 22 applications and granting 17 actions, including pardons, paroles with supervision conditions and one restoration of voting rights.
The board cited its statutory authority under Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22 and processed cases throughout the day. Several grants carried explicit conditions: Jerry W. Perdue was granted parole with a special condition to complete GPS ankle monitoring and to be referred to the Redemption Earned reentry program; Decullar Gibson was granted parole conditioned on completion of the Tuscaloosa Day Reporting Center, GPS monitoring and a drug assessment upon release; others were required to complete approved halfway houses, drug assessments or substance-abuse programs before release.
The board granted multiple pardons that the docket records as providing relief from the habitual-offender act and from firearms disabilities. Notable pardons and restorations included Markes D. Mosley, who was granted a full pardon restoring all civil and political rights, and several other pardon grants recorded with restrictions (for example, Ronald E. Brooks, Nicky A. Reed, Jermaine Goldsmith and Rachael D. Turner). One case (Christopher A. Guined) was recorded as a grant of voting rights only.
Denials predominated across the docket. Several individuals denied parole were assigned reset dates (commonly listed on the docket as dates such as 6/2027, 6/2029 or 6/2031). Examples recorded in the docket include Yhasif U. Speaks, Jerald A. Bailey, John H. Steele and multiple others whose denials were recorded as unanimous.
Speakers for and against applicants included family members, attorneys and representatives of victim or advocacy organizations; the docket repeatedly records appearances by Kacie Washington of VOCAL and India Eaves, identified as a victim services officer with the Attorney General’s Office. Assistant District Attorney Bill McCorquodale is also listed as having spoken against at least one application.
The board reviewed a list of delinquent files and adjourned at 4:09 p.m. The next board meeting is scheduled for June 18, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at the same Montgomery address.
