  • Two South Carolina women were among 39 pardons; According to the White House, the single-day act of clemency was the largest in modern history

President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 21 individuals from South Carolina, all of whom were convicted of non-violent drug offenses. These commutations are part of a broader initiative to address sentencing disparities and promote rehabilitation over incarceration for low-level drug crimes.
