She is a great example of why second chances matter and why Alabama’s parole board sorely needs reform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/6e1a6273-4b41-454c-bf15-2436198e8ad8/parole+hearing.jpg Stories - Why Second Chances Matter - The mixed messages in policy spread despair like a sickness. Incarcerated people are told to work hard, follow the rules & take programs to improve their parole chances, but when they're finally considered, their prison records or length of time served don't seem to matter to the parole board. “They are denying people with perfect prison records," Phyllis said. "People who've served 15, 20, 25, even 30 years or more. It breaks my heart." This means a person can have 50 disciplinary citations or zero on their prison record, but the board treats them the same. If they have a violent conviction, they're denied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/aeb0866b-d0f6-43e0-a736-9b27e16770ea/Phyllis+2.jpeg Stories - Why Second Chances Matter - Make it stand out Phyllis training a student https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/6e30c77c-e149-4163-838d-64c4883c5a85/Phyllis+OAA.jpeg Stories - Why Second Chances Matter - The program is called A Cut above the Rest and was started by two women who Phyllis served time with at Tutwiler Prison. "Everybody that touched my heart and helped me in any kind of way when I got out was an ex-offender," Phyllis said. "I want people to know that."

Report: Grim Outlook For Parole-Eligible People In Alabama Prisons - Make it stand out Since Alabama’s Bureau of Pardons and Paroles had new leadership appointed by Governor Kay Ivey in September 2019, less than half the number of parole hearings have been scheduled compared to the previous fiscal year. Eleven months into FY 2020, the bureau scheduled 2041 hearings with only 435 paroles granted.

This increase in paroles, as well as Alabama’s 2015 sentencing reforms, caused the state’s prison population to decrease.

FY 2020 is estimated to reflect a 17% parole grant rate, which will be the lowest rate in seven years since FY 2013. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628433864254-44QB7VHEL7XZKPIMF5CF/abpp4-3-1.jpg Reports - Report: Grim Outlook For Parole-Eligible People In Alabama Prisons - Make it stand out Yearly Totals Parole Decision Outcomes and Guideline Conformance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628433750601-EA26ZD5NANF2XFMYG3ME/abpp-5.jpg Reports - Report: Grim Outlook For Parole-Eligible People In Alabama Prisons - Make it stand out Parole Guideline Conformance Rate by Month, Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, August 2020 https://www.alabamasmartjustice.org/reports/hfoa monthly 0.5 2022-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628434790678-QJHZ3FENVNF3C954V3WW/Michael-Schumacher-Profile.jpg Reports - Report: Alabama’s Habitual Offender Law - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628434814788-J5QIIE80EBLD4BOXOUK9/Robert-Cheeks-Profile.jpg Reports - Report: Alabama’s Habitual Offender Law - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628434553469-0VUG53EWNKZQCP1HQBOM/%5B2.0%5D%2BAt-A-Glance---People-Sentenced-To-LWOP-Under-HFOA-%282%29.jpg Reports - Report: Alabama’s Habitual Offender Law - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff49b04c6eb3c3de1ae3d62/1628435050269-0SYBRW0DTZS4BBTW6SID/Growth-of-Aging-People-in-Alabama-Prisons.jpg Reports - Report: Alabama’s Habitual Offender Law - Make it stand out Over past decades, the population of people aged 50 years and older has exploded in Alabama prisons.
