Steve Marshall Campaigns Against Correctional Incentive Time

 

Current Alabama attorney general Steve Marshall wants the public to know that he's against a "broken" policy in this state. CIT is actually a law and it was 40 years old in 2020. Is this the best campaign issue Marshall can come up with?

No matter what one thinks of Correctional Incentive Time, these policies shouldn't be news to Marshall after four decades. Nor should these programs be news to any crime victims if local district attorneys are doing their job.

Marshall recently latched onto this almost dog whistle when the family of a sexual assault victim reported to the press that the rapist was being released "early." If any victim wants to know the scheduled released date of any Alabama prisoner, it's online and shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Here's a screen shot of the rapist's DOC page:

But Steve Marshall thinks this is a pressing problem that needs to be corrected? Why doesn't someone ask him why he hasn't already mentioned this pressing problem during the past 52 months he's been in office?
