Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denies most requests, grants limited paroles and pardons with conditions
Summary
At its Sept. 24, 2025 meeting in Montgomery, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles denied the majority of parole and pardon requests, granted several paroles with reentry and monitoring conditions and approved a small number of pardons including limited relief from firearms disabilities.
Hal Nash, chairperson of the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles, called the board to order at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 24 in Montgomery to hear a daily docket of parole and pardon petitions as prescribed by Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22. The board approved minutes from the Sept. 23 meeting before proceeding through the docket.
The board denied a large number of applications on the docket and set reset dates for many denials. For example, the board denied the parole request of Lorenzo J. Johnson Jr., AIS#151362, with no reset date. Nicholas C. Snow, AIS#315594, was denied parole after an executive‑session review and given a reset date of Sept. 2027. Several other paroles were denied with reset dates ranging from Aug. 2026 to Sept. 2029; multiple applicants received denials with no reset date.
The board granted parole to some applicants with explicit, structured conditions. Xavier M. Tanner, AIS#305702, and Russell A. Lashley, AIS#239800, were both granted parole with required completion of the Perry County Probation/Parole Reentry Education Program (PREP), placement in an approved halfway house, GPS ankle monitoring, mental‑health follow‑up and drug assessment upon release. Dossie K. Sullivan, AIS#282404, and Kelly M. Davis, AIS#337389, also received paroles conditioned on approved halfway‑house placement, GPS monitoring and follow‑up services. Irby J. Hardy, AIS#111669, was granted parole contingent on an out‑of‑state home plan and required out‑of‑state approval, plus mental‑health and substance‑use follow‑up.
A handful of pardons were granted with specified limitations. Jarvis Hardin, AIS#237572, was granted a pardon limited to relief from firearms disabilities. Treymane J. Bibb, AIS#267304, and Roger W. Holt, AIS#244082, were granted pardons that included relief from the habitual‑offender designation and firearms disabilities. Mitchell S. Dunn, AIS#315955, was granted restoration of voting rights only.
The meeting record shows repeated appearances by opponents of parole and pardon requests identified in the minutes as Venesha Bradley (VOCAL) and India Eaves, victim services officer from the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, who were listed as speaking against many applicants. Attorneys and relatives appeared on behalf of several applicants, including Alisha McKay for Nicholas Snow and Douglas Scofield for Xavier Tanner.
Several items were handled in brief executive sessions for file review. Where noted, executive sessions were called by Hal Nash and seconded by Darryl Littleton, with the board returning to open session to record votes.
The board reviewed delinquent files as an administrative matter and adjourned at 1:50 p.m.; the next meeting was scheduled for Sept. 25, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. at the same address.
This report is based on the board’s public meeting minutes and the docket attached to the meeting record.
