He missed a meeting and got sent back to prison. Now Alabama is giving him another chance.

The face of Kenneth Wayne McCroskey at the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles in Montgomery, Alabama, January 9, 2024.

But on Wednesday, Alabama Parole Board members Darryl Littleton and Gabrelle Simmons voted to parole McCroskey, while board Chairperson Leigh Gwathney voted to deny the 55-year-old and not hear his case for another five years. Again, he didn’t have a weapon. And, again, he didn’t get any money. Once again no one was hurt — except McCroskey himself. Someone in the restaurant tackled him and kept him on the ground until police arrived.

In 2023, the board let out just 8% of those who had a parole hearing. That’s compared to just six years ago, when more than half of those who had a parole hearing were granted release. And the drop in paroles came despite federal claims that Alabama’s prisons are already dangerously and unconstitutionally overcrowded.
