Newly elected Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Sarah Stewart recently met with the Alabama Joint Reentry Commission, where she announced her plans to use the judicial branch to support the state in reducing recidivism among released prisoners by 50% by 2030.
The percentage of state prisoners with previous incarcerations topped the percentage of prisoners serving time for a first offense, according to a recently released report from the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC).
U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) urged the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBP) director Colette Peters on Tuesday to look to one Alabama prison program as inspiration for reducing recidivism.
Multiple state officials said at a press conference at the new Perry County PREP Center on Friday they wanted to cut the state’s recidivism rate in half by 2030.
