Alabama parole board would be forced to consider an inmate’s health under new bill
al.com/news/2024/04/alabama-parole-board-would-be-forced-to-consider-an-inmates-health-under-new-bill.html
Quick Glance: Alabama Parole Board to Factor Inmate Health in Decisions
- A divided House Judiciary Committee approved legislation allowing the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles to consider an applicant’s medical condition when reviewing a parole application.
- The modified bill states that individuals denied parole who have been convicted of a nonviolent offense and spent at least 20 years in prison can apply for parole five years after denial.
- The legislation mandates that the Parole Board must consider a person’s age and health status when deciding on parole. Individuals with a 'serious chronic health condition' also have the right to appeal the Board’s decision within 28 days.
- Criminal justice reform advocates view the bill's passage through committee as a rare bright spot in a challenging session for their proposals, with many pieces of legislation facing delays or denials.
