The resolution recognizes April as Second Chance Month in Alabama, emphasizing the inherent dignity and value of every individual. It highlights the importance of redemption in American society and acknowledges Alabama's leadership in reentry programs, particularly the Perry County PREP Center, which has successfully helped over 300 formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society without returning to prison. The resolution advocates for smart policies that break the cycles of crime and incarceration, allowing individuals who have served their time to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to their communities.

Furthermore, the resolution underscores that supporting the reentry of formerly incarcerated individuals benefits all Alabamians by enhancing public safety, strengthening communities, reducing taxpayer burdens, and reuniting families. It calls attention to the potential of these individuals to positively impact their communities and workforce when given a second chance. The resolution commends the efforts of Reentry Alabama and its partners in facilitating this important work.
