Biden grants clemency for nearly 1,500 people, the biggest single-day act of clemency in modern history

CNN  

CNN — President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he is commuting the sentences of some 1,500 individuals and pardoning 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes – marking a broad use of the presidential clemency power just weeks from the end of Biden’s administration. “As President, I have the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, restoring opportunity for Americans to participate in daily life and contribute to their communities, and taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses.” The nearly 1,500 individuals whose long sentences are being commuted Thursday were placed on home confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic, and were deemed to have demonstrated a clear commitment to rehabilitation and reintegration into their communities, sources said. The official from the advocacy group said they were “pleasantly surprised” by Biden’s latest commutations – but noted that this latest round of clemency won’t actually free all that many people from living behind bars. Anita Dunn, a former senior adviser to the president, said last week that the move struck her as “exceptionally poor timing.” Biden’s pardoning of his son, the administration official insisted, has not shaped his thinking on the use of his clemency power overall. “My Administration will continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, promote public safety, support rehabilitation and reentry, and provide meaningful second chances.” The president has been consulting with White House Counsel Ed Siskel and the lawyers at the counsel’s office about a range of clemency options, sources said.
