Alabama’s reentry system relies on the Department of Corrections, Pardons & Paroles, and community-based nonprofits to support returning citizens. Housing options are limited, especially outside Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile, so many individuals enter faith-based transitional housing or sober-living programs. Workforce training is primarily delivered through Alabama Career Centers, community colleges, and employer apprenticeship pipelines in manufacturing, logistics, construction, and automotive sectors. Record-clearing and pardon requests run through the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, but timelines can vary. Early engagement with probation/parole officers, local reentry coalitions, and workforce offices improves access to housing referrals, job placement support, and stabilization resources.
