attndotcom:Read the Letter the President Wrote to a Non-Violent Drug OffenderThese commutations come as the president and his administration have highlighted the need to address outdated drug laws that are contributing to overcrowded prisons. The White House announced last year that it would begin commuting the sentences of non-violent drug offenders.

Two of the inmates granted clemency yesterday were aided by the Clemency Project 2014, reported Politico. -- source link
