After news of hundreds of Alabama inmates leaving prison early and a Monday lawsuit from the Alabama Attorney General, less than half of the originally reported inmates were released on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, 369 state inmates were set to be released early from prison following implementation of a 2021 state law.

But, due to issues notifying victims and their families, the release of many of those people has been pushed back.

Between 90 and 100 inmates from the Alabama Department of Corrections were to be released Tuesday, Cam Ward, director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, told AL.com.

Those released were either convicted of non-violent crimes, or the department had been able to notify the victim or their family of the impending release.

The remaining 300 or so people will be released as the department is able to make the notifications.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall filed a lawsuit Monday, arguing the release should be delayed because of the lack of victim notifications—a state law.

While a judge decided against issuing a temporary restraining order against the ADOC, Commissioner John Hamm agreed that “no inmate will be released without compliance with the (state’s) victim-notice requirement.”
