Joe Biden, recently criticized for pardoning his son Hunter Biden for his criminal offenses, is making news again by granting 1,500 pardons in a single day, an all-time record.
President Joe Biden announced a significant clemency action on April 25, 2023, offering 1,500 pardons and commutations in a single day. This move was aimed at addressing racial disparities in the justice system, particularly focusing on non-violent drug offenses. The pardons and commutations are part of Biden's broader initiative to reform sentencing laws and reduce the impact of overly punitive measures from previous administrations. The action includes clemency for 11 individuals serving disproportionately long sentences for non-violent drug charges, and a mass pardon for those convicted of simple marijuana possession in federal jurisdictions or D.C. This initiative not only seeks to correct past injustices but also aligns with Biden's commitment to criminal justice reform, emphasizing rehabilitation over punishment.
