Board grants full pardons restoring civil and political rights to three applicants
Summary
In a series of unanimous votes July 30, 2026, the Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles granted full pardons restoring civil and political rights to applicants including Shantavia E. Johnson (AIS# 828281), Aubrey N. Newton (AIS# 828203) and Jeremy McIntosh (AIS# 807732). Several other pardons carried restrictions or restored voting rights only.
The Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles voted unanimously on July 30 to grant full pardons to several applicants, restoring civil and political rights to those individuals. The minutes record full pardons for Shantavia E. Johnson (AIS# 828281), Aubrey N. Newton (AIS# 828203) and Jeremy McIntosh (AIS# 807732).
Other pardon outcomes included relief from the habitual-offender act and firearms disabilities for certain applicants and one case in which voting rights only were restored (Jennifer L. Campbell, AIS# 816131). The minutes list VOCAL and the Attorney General's Office as participants who sometimes opposed pardons; the Board nevertheless recorded unanimous votes in favor where pardons were approved.
Board staff are responsible for issuing pardon certificates and updating records; the minutes show planned follow-up tasks with target dates shortly after the meeting. These actions were taken under the Board's statutory authority (Alabama Code, Title 15, Chapter 22).
