The 2022 Alabama prison strike was a prison strike in the state of Alabama. The strike began on September 26, 2022 and ended on October 14, 2022

The prisons involved

"The group made the following demands to the state:

Establish mandatory parole criteria to guarantee parole to all eligible who meet the criteria

Repeal Alabama’s Habitual Felony Offender Act, which requires stricter punishment for those with prior felony convictions, among other mandates

Eliminate life-without-parole sentences

Reduce the 30-year minimum for juvenile offenders to no more than 15 before they are eligible for parole

Create a review board to oversee the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles

Streamline the review process for medical furlough

Ensure eligible persons receive “good time” — incentive time shaved off a sentence earned through good behavior

Create a statewide conviction integrity unit to investigate possible wrongful convictions" https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/2022/09/26/alabama-prison-laborers-strike-activists-deliver-demands-to-adoc/69517876007/
