The Alabama Department of Corrections is routinely incarcerating people past their release dates instead of releasing them to parole supervision. In just the past four years, this has meant over 1,500 people have been held for a total of over 66,000 days of excessive detention. The MacArthur Justice Center, along with co-counsel from McGuire & Associates, Covington and Burling, and Kelly Guzzo, is fighting to hold Alabama officials accountable and uphold people’s right to go home to their families and communities when their sentences are over.
