Good job Alabama Pardons and Paroles. Way to get into a technical squabble with a vendor who’s tracking the animals that track and prey upon children. Brilliant.
Twenty-two men, most of them sex offenders who should be monitored using devices that can track their location, are receiving less frequent supervision because of bureaucratic problems at the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Seven of these men are from Montgomery County.
Attorney General Troy King said most of these people, if not all of them, were facing revocation of their parole or probation, but they remain free because they were placed into the Global Positioning System program.
Those men are “high-risk violent predators who have demonstrated they could not follow the rules,” King said.
The probationers, some of whom were convicted of first-degree rape and sodomy, were monitored by the GPS devices until March, when the three-member parole board ordered the agency to stop using that vendor because it was not registered to do business in Alabama.
