The Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles provided 31 refurbished laptops to Day Reporting Centers throughout Alabama, including the Fort Payne field office, which operates as a condensed version of the Bureauâs full Day Reporting Centers located in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. Other smaller field offices are located in Bay Minette, Guntersville, Opelika and Jasper.
District Manager Chris Causey presented one such laptop to Fort Payne DRC Lite Administrator Brandon J. Thompson.
These laptops will be used on-site to provide participants assistance with enhancing computer skills, completing GED assignments and building resumes. The laptops also lessen issues surrounding the current COVID-19 crisis in the U.S.
