New center aims to train Alabamians on parole or probation for manufacturing jobs alabamareflector.com/2026/09…
I am so proud of the officer from the AL Bureau of Pardons and Parole who participated in this task force and was unfortunately shot by a wanted murderer. He is recovering well and is a true hero for the people of Alabama!
God had his hands on this U.S. Marshall when he came face to face with one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives today. He is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.
Alabama’s law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect our state. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid.
This officer was actually an officer for the AL Bureau of Pardons and Paroles who was attached to the task force. He is recovering from his injuries. So thankful for his service to public safety in our state. al.com/news/2026/09/us-marsh…

"One of the key drivers of recidivism & crime comes from lack of employment," says @directorcamward.
As a #Reentry2030 state, AL is strengthening pathways to employment w/ support from the CSG Justice Center & other partners.

Alabama program links people leaving prison to jobs, aims to cut repeat offenses fox10tv.com/2026/09/10/alaba…
Initiative along with our partners, the Al Department of Workforce and Ingram State Technical College. This $4 million grant will fund job training for those formerly incarcerated and get meaningful employment on the gulf coast in skilled labor. This will reduce recidivism but wouldn’t be possible without our partners working n the public and private sector. @ABPPalabamagov

Mr. Drinkard was a veteran, a very successful businessman, and a longtime community leader. He leaves a legacy of service and generosity that will continue to impact our state for generations to come.
Cullman businessman Roy Drinkard died Sunday night in Cullman at age 106.
Among his other accomplishments, Drinkard was the oldest living U.S. Marine. Semper fi.
Roy Drinkard was more than a centenarian. He was a beloved local figure, a veteran, and one of Alabama’s most respected businessmen. Known for his sharp mind, strong handshake, and enduring patriotism, Drinkard had played a vital role in shaping Cullman’s business and civic landscape for decades.

Great to be back on the air today @NewsTalk931 with @aprylmarie and @Bryan1819News discussing education for those formerly incarcerated and how it lowers recidivism rates. @1819News
I am very proud and excited about the progress we have made with our partners in expanding workforce opportunities for those formerly incarcerated. These efforts will have a significant impact on our goal of reducing long term #recidivism rates. yellowhammernews.com/abpp-ex…
