Episode Details

Alabamas Department of Corrections Commissioner, John Q. Hamm, is stepping down after four years and over forty years in law enforcement. Governor Kay Ivey has appointed Greg Lovelace, the current chief deputy, to take over until the end of her term. Hamm, who previously led investigations and sheriff duties, implemented pay hikes for officers, partnered with community colleges for faster hiring, cracked down on contraband, and oversaw the construction of a new prison. Despite these achievements, Alabama prisons still face overcrowding and federal lawsuits over violence. Lovelace, with over thirty years in corrections and nearly fifty in law enforcement, is expected to continue building on Hamms progress.
