Reuss v. Alabama

Reuss v. Alabama is a legal case involving allegations of discrimination in the parole process. The plaintiff argued that Alabama's parole system unfairly disadvantaged Black inmates by imposing policies that limited their chances of early release, thus violating constitutional rights. The case highlights issues of racial bias in the criminal justice system and the importance of fair, non-discriminatory procedures in parole decisions. Ultimately, the court examined whether existing practices unjustly affected a particular racial group and sought to ensure equal treatment under the law.
