Most inmates in Alabama prisons are ineligible for good time. Inmates with sentences longer than 15 years and those convicted of Class A felonies or sex offenses involving a child don’t qualify.
“Good time should be reserved for those who’ve earned it and those who deserve it,” England said. “But at the same time, let’s actually make the violations something that’s actually punishable so you’re just not using it to silence opposition.”
Carla Crowder, executive director of the Alabama Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization that advocates for criminal justice reforms, said the new rules take the state in the wrong direction. “This is a common violation which will now result in three years of lost good time,” Crowder said. “Has anyone done the math on how this will impact prison populations?”
Ivey and Hamm made the announcement at a press conference on a day they also marked as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. They were joined by Montgomery Police Chief Darryl J. Albert and state Sen. Clyde Chambliss, R-Prattville.
