PAROLE IN ALABAMA 
A GUIDE FOR THE PRISONER 

LEGAL AUTHORITY 

T he State Board of Pardons and Paroles exists and 
funct ions by authori ty of T itle 15, Code of Alabama, 
1975, as amenaed . 

WHAT IS PAROLE? 

Paro le is a method of releasing you from an 
institution before you complete your sentence. It is 
granted as a priv ilege and an opportunity-not as a 
right. Its' pu rpose is to protect society by returning 
deserving inmates to the community and assist ing 
them in their efforts to become good citizens . 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE? 

Paro le is not granted merely as a reward for good 
conduct o r a good work record while in prison. The 
Board must have reason to be lieve that you wi l l not 
violate the law again, and that your re lease is not 
aga inst the interests of society. 

The length of time you must serve before parole 
considerat ion depends on many factors . Important 
factors are: (1) the ser iousness of your crime; (2) sent­
ence imposed; (3) pr ior criminal record; (4) your repu­
tat ion; and (5) protest by pub lic offic ials, vict ims of 
crimes , members of the vict ims famil ies, or others w ith 
a bonaf ide interest in your case. 

2 



After completing one-third of your sentence or ten 
years, whichever is less, you may be paroled by major­
ity vote of the Board. All three board members must 
agree to an earlier parole. This does not mean that y r>U 

have a right to be paroled after serving one-third of 
your sentence. The Board may require you to serve 
longer, or may deny parole altogether. 

LEGAL BARRIERS TO PAROLE 

Alabama law and Board policy make some 
offenders ineligible for parole: they are (1) Death sent­
ence not commuted . NOTE: If your sentence is later 
commuted to life by the Governor, then you must serve 
fifteen years before being eligible for parole ; (2) Sent­
enced to Life without Parole; (3) Conviction of Trea­
son; (4) Conviction of Impeachment; (5) Conviction of 
murder, rape, robbery or assault with a deadly weapon 
involving serious physical injury, the commission of 
which follows within five years a previous felony con­
viction resulting in serious physical injury; (6) Life 
sentence for Class A felony committed after a previous 
convict ion of another Class A felony; (7) Habitual 
Offender: Conviction of a Class A felony after three 
previous felony convictions requires sentence of life 
without parole; (8) Inmates confined in mental hospi­
tals; (9) the Board has no authority to parole for pur­
pose of hospitalization ; (1 0) The Board has no jurisdic­
tion over an escaped prisoner. (11) Inmates serving 
only a split sentence case(s) ; (12) Trafficking in canni­
bis, cocaine and drugs. Must serve mandatory min­
imum prescribed by law. 

3 



DO I NEED A LAWYER? 

Th is is a matter which you will have to dec ide for 
yourself. You do not need a lawyer or anyone e!se to be 
sure you are considered . The Board considers every 
inmate, not barred from parole, and gives his friends 
and relatives an opportunity to appear before the 
board. 

HOW DO I GET CONSIDERED FOR PAROLE? 

As soon as practical after you are sentenced to 
prison, the Board prepares a fi le on you . THis file con­
ta ins information from many sources, inc luding inves­
tigat ions by paro le officers . 

After your fi le is completed, the Board determines 
your parole calendar date. The parole ca lendar date is 
the earliest month and year in which you may expect to 
be released, if ~he Board votes to parole you . As soon 
as this date is determined you wi ll be notified . 

The Board has set up guidelines for initial setting 
of parole calendar dates on cases involving crimes 
committed on or after May 19, 1980. The guide lines 
take into account your past criminal record, the 
severity of your present offense, and the attitude of the 
community toward you. If your case is covered by the 
guidelines, you cannot calculate your own parole 
calendar date. Your calendar date will be set on or 
be~ore completion of one-third of your total prison 
term unless: (1) you committed a heinous crime; (2) 
your present offense was of a violent nature and your 
previous behavior indicates a high risk for future vio-

4 



lence; and/or (3) the Board determines for other rea­
sons that the guidelines should not apply. 

On cases involving crimes committed before May 
19, 1980, the parole calendar date is set after you serve 
one-third of your prison term or 10 years whichever is 
less. For multiple convictions you must serve one-third 
or 10 years of the total term or one-third or 10 years of 
the individual sentence, whichever results in the 
longest parole consideration calendar date. You will 
be given credit for earned incentive good time in 
determining the amount of time you have served . 

Your parole calendar date may be changed if addi­
tional facts show that a change should be made. 

WHO CAN PROTEST MY PAROLE? 

Any person wishing to protest your parole may do 
so in writing. They must state the reasons, and may 
submit accompanying data. Such protests may be sent 
at any time after sentence is passed . It will be placed in 
the file for consideration when the case is before the 
Board for action . The Board gives most careful con­
sideration to protests made by Judges, District Attor­
neys, Attorney Generals, or victims of crime. 

HOW IMPORTANT IS MY PRISON RECORD? 

You are expected to behave yourself and do your 
work properly while in prison . Your adjustment and 
efforts to improve yourself are very important in help­
ing to decide if parole will be granted. 

5 



Shortly before your parole calendar date, the 
Board gets a report on you from Parole Officers and 
prison officials. This report gives the Board the follow­
ing information : 

1. PROGRESS WHILE IN THE INSTITUTION 
2. CHANGE IN ATTITUDE WHILE IN THE 

INSTITUTION 
3. CONDUCT WHILE IN THE INSTITUTION 
4. W.A.RDEN 'S APPRAISAL OR 

RECOMMENDATION. 

PAROLE HEARINGS: 

The Board conducts open public meetings on 
each Monday from 10:00 a.m . until noon (except on 
State holidays). If someone wishes to appear before 
the Board on your behalf , they may come on any Mon­
day during the month immediately before your parole 
calendar date. No appointment is necessary. These 
meetings are held in the Board offices at 750 Washing­
ton Avenue , Suite 312, Montgomery, Alabama. 

Prior to your parole calendar date you will be 
interviewed by the Board or 1ts' representative . 

The sentenc1ng judge and distnct attorney will be 
g1ven a written notice that you are being considered for 
parole . The parole plan you present will be verified . 
Should the parole plan not be completed prior to your 
parole calendar date, you will be released as soon as 
the plan has been completed If the Board votes to 
parole you . 

If you are den1ed parole you will be notified and 

6 



advised if and when you will again be considered for 
parole . 

INSTITUTIONAL PAROLE SERVICES 

A parole officer is assigned to serve each prison . 
He will assist you in matters pertaining to parole. 

It the parole officer is not stationed at the i nstitu­
tion where you are serv ing , he will make regular visits 
to such institution . If you need to see him , you may 
make an appointment through the Warden of your 
institution . 

When you become eligible tor parole considera­
tion the parole officer will interview you and discuss 
your parole plans Start working on your parole plan in 
advance of your parole calendar date.

more information about you and will ask the parole
