A Houston County man paroled in September is now being ordered to be taken back into custody after the state Board of Pardons and Paroles said Thursday it made a mistake when it paroled Jerry Lamar Lett.
But advocates said Lett, a military veteran who turns 53 on Friday, has been a model citizen and has been complying with the terms of his parole and called rescinding his parole a “miscarriage of justice.”
Lett, of Kinsey in Houston County, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of trafficking cocaine in 2018.
