Biden Sets Record, Commutes 2,500 Nonviolent Drug Sentences in Largest Single-Day Clemency
Jan 17, 2025, 10:54 AM
President Biden announced on Friday that he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses, making this the largest single-day act of clemency in U.S. history.

The move aims to address sentencing disparities related to old drug laws, including those for crack cocaine-related crimes. This significant clemency action comes as one of his final acts before leaving office.
