  • A broad array of advocacy organizations and religious groups
  • including the Vatican
  • are urging President Joe Biden to commute the sentences of several groups of federal prisoners before he leaves office,

President Joe Biden is encountering increasing pressure to take decisive action on clemency issues following his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and gun-related charges. Advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers are urging Biden to clear the federal death row and issue more commutations, highlighting the disparity between his personal clemency decision and the broader criminal justice system. Critics argue that Biden's actions towards his son reflect a personal bias, while systemic issues like mass incarceration and the death penalty remain unaddressed. There is a call for Biden to use his clemency powers more broadly to address racial disparities in sentencing, reduce prison populations, and rectify what many see as injustices within the legal system. This pressure comes at a time when criminal justice reform is a significant topic in national politics, with expectations that Biden could set a precedent for future presidential clemency actions.
