150 people in federal prison, sentenced before 1987, have never been eligible for relief. Many are elderly and ill. It’s time for #clemencynow.
Hear FAMM’s Debi Campbell make the case for compassion and justice.

ABP&P, under the leadership of Chair Leigh Gwathney, denies parole to worthy people every day, no appeal, no right to be present. #ManifestInjustice #redemptionearned
Nothing short of Federal Court Intervention will fix the crisis in Alabama’s Department of Corrections and Pardons and Paroles. #alpolitics

Www.redemptionearned.org has now gained the deserved freedom of 7 incarcerated adults. Our recidivism rate is “0”.

If the state of Alabama had its way, Mr. Lee Davis would still be in prison. There are hundreds, maybe thousands like him in ADOC who have been locked up far too long & deserve a new chance at freedom. Creating pathways out of a deadly prison system should not be controversial.

The AL Board of Pardons & Paroles has granted parole to just 7.5% of eligible people, the lowest % in over a decade. A current vacancy on the board leaves these decisions up to two people. Our state leaders need to do their jobs and fill that vacancy.

We need P&P board members who actually believe more in granting parole to worthy people than pure vengeance. Help redemptionearned.org provide free legal representation at parole hearings for worthy “aged&infirmed” incarcerated adults. #redemption

"Crime is a young man’s game, but prisons aren’t," Walter Hart writes.

On geriatric parole, @jsoble1 says “If there’s no significant shift in the way that we think about our criminal legal system and our prison system, the elderly population in the state and in this country will just continue to grow and grow and grow." news.wttw.com/2023/06/07/mob…

0ver 1100 people over 65 are being held in AL prisons. Many of them are NO longer a threat to public safety. Help redemptionearned.org find them & help them gain parole & placements in nursing homes. #redemption
The death march inside Alabama prisons continues, while lawmakers pass more bills to increase punishments. This is why our prisons are overcrowded & unconstitutional. Also because people in power don't care if prisoners suffer.

I feel encouraged by this news in Alabama. "In an era where politicians feel the pressure to always be tough on crime, both England and Bachus contend there must be a place for humanity, mercy and second chances." @AlaAppleseed
More support for HB 229! Second Chances matter in Alabama. abc3340.com/news/local/do-th…

Chronic health conditions abound — and often go untreated — in U.S. prisons and can often lead to “death by incarceration.” Parole-reform advocates in New York are trying to change that.

"Just because you go to prison, just because you’re convicted of an offense, that doesn’t define who you are and what you’re capable of going forward. We are all capable of redemption.”

Rep. England will offer a substitute today for our #HB228 which focuses solely on “virtual presence” for all parole hearings. This is an essential change in our parole proceedings! Call your Rep!!!

Alabamians have continued to vote for state officials who have failed to demand that AL prisons be safe. It is morally WRONG to lock people in places where they will be attacked, raped, & forced to do drugs. redemptionearned.org #redemption
