Client Profile: Thomas Eugene Owens-‘He will never be free again’

January 12, 2024/5 Comments/in Alabama Prisons, Habitual Offender Law/by Admin
Thomas Eugene Owens was 33 when he went to prison for an assortment of property crimes. He was 33, nonviolent, and most importantly healthy. Four months later he was confined to a bed, unable to sign his own name, unable to feed himself and unable to speak for himself. Alabama Department of Corrections staff realized that Mr. Thomas, after spending four months in their custody, was so thoroughly broken that they could no longer care for him. This is when Redemption Earned decided to represent Mr. Owens.
This is Mr. Owens

On October 31, 2023 Attorney Ashleigh Woodham, brought Mr. Owens’ case before the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. She stated that Mr. Owens was bedridden and unable to perform basic tasks necessary for survival. It was costing the state and its taxpayers more to hold Mr. Owens in a prison then it would be to hold him in a nursing facility. He is not free to move, speak, eat or even use the bathroom by himself. Mr. Owens’ 15 year sentence was changed to a life sentence within his first four months in DOC custody.

Mr. Owens will never be free again.
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles voted to medically parole Mr. Owens in a two-to-one vote. That one ‘NO’ vote was Leigh Gwathney.
Leigh Gwathney voted to waste taxpayer money on continuing to hold a man who is less of a threat to society than the common toddler. Thankfully Darryl Littleton and Gabrelle Simmons used logic, reasoning, and a sense of justice and paroled Mr. Owens contingent on Redemption Earned finding him a bed in a care facility. Today Mr. Owens is still a prisoner in his own body, but not within the confines of an Alabama Prison. He now resides in a nursing facility where his father can visit him and he can be cared for properly.

    Why was he bedridden in the first place? Evidently something happened to him in prison.

    It’s sad they need to be paid for this no matter what happened while they in prison they are responsible for his well being. Since they wanted to get him out of there they need the funds to make it to where he can be back home with family. God be with him and his family.
