  • The Reentry Alabama Commission released a strategic action plan based on recommendations from the CSG Justice Center and focused on reducing recidivism and improving coordination across agencies. 
  • SJR80 established a new statewide task force to lead implementation of the law and plan, with continued support from the CSG Justice Center.
