US President Joe Biden has issued presidential pardons to 39 Americans convicted of non-violent crimes, and commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 other people. The White House described it as the most acts of presidential clemency issued in a single day.

President Joe Biden has issued 39 presidential pardons and commuted the sentences of 1,500 individuals, focusing primarily on those convicted of non-violent drug offenses. This action marks a significant use of clemency power, aimed at addressing sentencing disparities and promoting rehabilitation. The pardons and commutations reflect Biden's commitment to criminal justice reform, particularly for offenses related to marijuana possession and other non-violent crimes. Among those receiving clemency are individuals who have shown substantial rehabilitation, community support, and a low risk of recidivism. This move also aligns with broader efforts to rectify the disproportionate impact of certain drug laws on minority communities.
