Alabama Parole Reforms: Bipartisan Push & New Bills
Alabamas ACLU chapter celebrates new parole reform bills, with House Bill eighty-six and Senate Bill two forty, both passed during the latest legislative session. These bills, sponsored by Democratic Rep Chris England and Republican Sen Will Barfoot respectively, introduce changes to the Board of Pardons and Paroles decision-making process. House Bill eighty-six requires the board to consider inmates jobs, education, and re-offense risks for parole decisions, while also mandating transparency in their voting reasons. Senate Bill two forty allows inmates to participate in parole hearings via technology, ensuring victims and families protection unless they opt-in. The ACLU attributes these victories to years of grassroots work and public pressure, emphasizing the power of collective action. However, they caution that lawmakers have yet to address the broader prison crisis, including overcrowding and violence, urging deeper fixes to facilitate productive reintegration.
