Biden Issues Largest Single-Day Clemency: Pardons 39, Commutes 1,500 Sentences
Dec 12, 2024, 09:05 PM
President Joe Biden has granted clemency to nearly 1,500 individuals, issuing 39 pardons and commuting the sentences of approximately 1,500 people in what the White House described as the "largest single-day grant of clemency in modern U.S. history." The pardons include individuals convicted of nonviolent crimes, with recipients from various states including Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. Among those pardoned are three Texans: Nathaniel Reed III, a veteran who served 20 years with honor; Mireya Walmsley, a healthcare leader in disasters and pandemics; and Lashundra Wilson. The commuted sentences primarily affect those who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
