Gov. Kay Ivey appoints Jennifer Conway to serve on Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles

Gov. Kay Ivey Wednesday appointed Jennifer Conway to fill the lone vacancy on the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Conway succeeds former board member Darryl Littleton, who stepped down from the board in January to serve as the deputy director of administration and law enforcement services for the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles.

Conway, a special agent for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), began her career in the agency in 2001 and began work in Alabama in 2003, where she investigated gang-related trafficking and criminal enterprises. She was promoted to resident agent in 2016, overseeing special agents and task force offices in the U.S. Middle District of Alabama.

“I cannot think of a more qualified person to sit on the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles ensuring each case is carefully reviewed and the public’s interest is protected,” Ivey said in the news release.

Conway said in a statement that she was “committed to fulfilling my duties on the board for the people of Alabama. ”

“I understand the importance of my role on the board and the need to collaborate with fellow board members to make informed decisions. I take the responsibility of the board very seriously and ensure my decisions will always prioritize public safety.”
