Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles denies many requests, grants several pardons and conditional paroles
Summary
On June 17, 2025, the Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles in Montgomery denied parole in many cases, granted several full pardons and approved a handful of conditional paroles, including reopening and granting parole for Terryous P. Crutcher with reentry and electronic-monitoring conditions.
The Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles met on June 17, 2025, in Montgomery and recorded a series of parole and pardon decisions affecting dozens of individuals on its daily docket. Chair Leigh Gwathney presided; Nicole Lewis served as board secretary and recorded the actions, which the board conducted under the authority of Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22.
The board denied parole in a majority of the cases presented but granted several full pardons and a small number of conditional paroles. Board Member Darryl Littleton moved to reopen one case for additional testimony; Chair Leigh Gwathney seconded the motion. After hearing additional testimony, the board granted parole in that case with multiple postrelease conditions.
Why it matters: Pardons restore civil and political rights and can remove certain statutory disabilities; parole grants release from custody under supervision, often with conditions such as electronic monitoring, treatment programs and reentry education. The board’s decisions affect the individuals involved, victims’ families and county supervision resources.
