Biden Commutes 1500 Sentences, Pardons 39 People

ai generated text

President Joe Biden has taken significant steps towards clemency, commuting nearly 1,500 prison sentences and pardoning 39 people in a single day. This move marks the largest act of clemency in modern history. The commutations apply to individuals who have served at least one year of home confinement, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pardons are for Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes.
