Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles is a division of the Alabama Department of Corrections that manages individuals under court supervision. The office describes parole as the process by which court officials determine whether or not an individual with a criminal conviction is likely to reoffend and what parameters, if any, should apply to the individual upon release from prison. The Pardon Unit considers individuals requesting a pardon for previous convictions, as well as applications for the restoration of voting rights and the remission of court fees associated with criminal charges. The mission of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles is to improve public safety while assisting formerly incarcerated individuals with successful, permanent reentry into the community. Loved ones can monitor recent decisions regarding parole via the organization website.
