More Perfect Union has just released a compelling new video entitled “Alabama Is Generating Billions by Trapping People in Prison.” (see below)
As they state in the video, if the Alabama Parole Board followed its own guidelines, it would grant parole in ~80% of cases. Instead, that number dropped to just 8% in 2023.
So why isn’t the state of Alabama paroling more people? As the video shows:
“Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s and Wendy’s. The state takes 40% of wages and often denies parole to keep people as cheap labor. Getting written up can lead to solitary confinement. This is modern day slavery.”
