Custody and lawful decisions
ADOC and ABPP retain their statutory responsibilities; facility leadership retains operational command.
Five Stages. One Correctional Journey.
How ALPRP Fits Alabama’s Existing System
Connect existing resources. Verify the gaps. Measure the added value.
ALPRP proposal · October 4, 2026. Pilot 100 is a proposed pilot. Agency names describe existing resources or potential coordination; they do not imply endorsement, funding, signed partnerships, access to agency records, or authorization to operate inside a facility.
How ALPRP fits Alabama’s existing system
Alabama already invests in correctional education, substance-use treatment, workforce preparation, parole supervision and reentry. ALPRP proposes an integration and accountability framework that connects those resources across the Five Stages, identifies unmet needs and tests improvements. The practical question is whether a resident can access the right service, complete a documented handoff and sustain progress—and whether staff can manage that pathway within available capacity.
ALPRP does not claim that coordination is new. Reentry 2030, RESTART and ABPP’s referral pilot already address parts of this work. Pilot 100 must demonstrate an additional, measurable benefit before creating another process or purchasing another platform.
Existing services, one coordinated journey
Education and workforce
J.F. Ingram State, workforce services and employers provide approved learning and employment pathways.
Care and community support
Qualified healthcare and treatment providers, housing and community organizations deliver authorized services.
Proposed ALPRP coordination
Inventory services → assess needs → assign a responsible coordinator → document referrals and gaps → review progress → verify community handoffs.

Integrate, strengthen, pilot or evaluate
| Category | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Existing resource · integrate | Verify availability and eligibility, then connect access and handoffs. | ADOC treatment, Ingram State education, existing reentry referrals. |
| Existing resource · strengthen | Document a capacity or continuity gap before seeking expansion. | Additional clinical access, scheduling support or community appointments. |
| ALPRP addition · pilot | Test an approved change with cost, workload and safety measures. | Five-stage pathway coordination and documented progression reviews. |
| Future concept · evaluate | Require feasibility, authority and funding review before adoption. | Wearable location tools, advanced analytics and an internal paid-work economy. |
These implementation categories are separate from evidence labels such as OFFICIAL DATA, ADVOCACY CLAIM, ALPRP ANALYSIS and ALPRP PROPOSAL. A proposed service must never be presented as currently delivered.
Respect institutional capacity
Staffing, security, healthcare, litigation, construction and routine operations compete for leadership attention and resources. Pilot 100 starts with one bounded workflow, an assigned operational lead, protected staff time and a documented budget. Reuse an existing referral system when it can meet the requirement. Measure duplicate entry, staff time and unresolved referrals before adding automation.
The Five Stages remain the comprehensive reform vision. Pilot 100 tests selected, authorized components; it is not a claim that 100 residents can validate every part of statewide reform.

Official descriptions establish program existence and intended design. They do not establish equal access in every facility or prove effectiveness. ALPRP must verify local capacity, eligibility and outcomes before proposing an additional service.
