Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles voids prior action, denies most paroles and grants several pardons
Summary
At its Oct. 30 meeting in Montgomery the Board voided a prior delinquency declaration after being notified by ADOC, denied many parole requests (several with no reset dates), granted a small number of paroles with conditions, and issued several full pardons restoring civil and political rights.
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles met in Montgomery on Oct. 30, 2025, and reviewed its daily pardon and parole docket. The Board approved the Oct. 29 minutes and—after being advised by the Alabama Department of Corrections of an erroneous release—voted to void a prior declaration of delinquency and a subsequent Board action.
Board business and the voided order: The meeting record shows Darryl Littleton and Gabrelle Simmons as present and Nicole Lewis serving as Board secretary. The body subsequently issued a minute entry and board order noting that ADOC advised the Bureau that William Travis Glass (AIS# 334344) had been released in error to mandatory supervision on Sept. 10, 2024; in response the Board voided its Jan. 14, 2025 delinquency declaration and the Oct. 22, 2025 action and indicated Mr. Glass will remain in ADOC custody.
Decisions on paroles and pardons: The Board moved through a long docket of parole and pardon petitions. Major outcomes included denials of parole for many petitioners (often with no reset date or with reset dates in October 2026–2030) and grants of full pardons restoring civil and political rights for several applicants. A handful of paroles were granted with special conditions such as GPS monitoring, required drug assessments, mental-health follow-up and required completion of a local reentry education program.

The Board also granted full pardons to Demetrius D. McComb (AIS# 266783), Reginald L. McConico (AIS# 827290), Nikita Y. Feagin (AIS# 193930) and Mary K. Merriweather (AIS# 812889) and denied or otherwise dispositioned multiple other pardon requests. Additional parole denials with assorted reset dates were recorded for Joseph P. Little (AIS# 332477), Christopher T. Reid (AIS# 286592), Glenn A. Rolls (AIS# 304840), Christopher T. Mullins (AIS# 304314), Scottie D. Williams (AIS# 161268), Demetus J. Fulford (AIS# 203788), Kevin Parker (AIS# 160396), Ashley J. Turner (AIS# 279707) and Jericho Tidwell (AIS# 259103), among others listed on the docket.
Speakers and advocacy: The record lists family members, attorneys and victim advocates who spoke for or against individual cases. Noted recurring participants included Ky' Toria Lawson (listed with VOCAL) and Jackie Fowler (listed as VSO, Attorney General's Office), who are recorded several times speaking in opposition to parole in multiple cases. Several applicants spoke on their own behalf when seeking pardons.
Why it matters: The Board’s decisions affect custody status, the timing of future eligibility for parole hearings and, for pardons, restoration of civil and political rights. The voided delinquency declaration and board order tied to the ADOC notice is a procedural corrective that kept an individual in ADOC custody pending resolution.
What’s next: The Board adjourned at 12:32 p.m. after a motion to adjourn by Darryl Littleton and a second from Gabrelle Simmons. The next meeting is scheduled for Nov. 4, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. at 301 South Ripley Street, Montgomery.
