We devoted some time discussing an article sent to us by one of our attorneys about the latest developments regarding adolescents between 18-22 and the death penalty.

We thank  Rep. Neil Rafferty (D-Birmingham) who sponsored HB 544 and cosponsors Reps. Rolanda Hollis (D-Birmingham), Adline Clarke (D-Mobile) and Laura Hall (D-Huntsville).The bill  would end the death penalty as a potential sentence in Alabama. We now hope that some Senators will follow their good example and also that of VA which abolished the death penalty today!

It came as absolutely no surprise to us that last week Alabama state lawyers wrote in a court filing that it is amending its lethal injection procedures to allow a condemned inmate to have his spiritual advisor in the execution chamber. And so what happened to the safety concerns that had not allowed that previously? An example of a seemingly positive filing for strictly negative reasons!

Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 2.17.21

We had so much to discuss as we went over the events of the past week! It was a great moment when Willie returned to his cell late Thursday evening. We heard him come back on the tier and heard him shout I love y’all! We are very grateful for the stay although somewhat concerned about what is next.
