During his final hours in the White House, President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of more than 300 prisoners Thursday. Obama has commuted the sentences of more prisoners than any president in U.S. history, with his final number totaling 1,715 commutations, including 568 people who were serving life sentences, according to a report released by the White House. In fact, Obama has granted more commutations than the last 13 presidents combined.
Just Tuesday, the White House released a list of more than 200 people who were granted pardons, including Chelsea Manning, who was sentenced to prison after revealing classified U.S. military and government information helped make WikiLeaks a household name. More than 60 people also had their sentences commuted Tuesday.
Thursday’s commutations included 330 men and women, many of whom were serving lengthy prison sentences for non-violent drug-related crimes. Notably missing from the list was former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who leaking classified information about U.S. surveillance tactics, and former Army Sgt. Robert Bergdahl, who was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy following his release by the Taliban in in Afghanistan in 2009.
Through a commutation, a prisoner is forgiven for their crime and has their sentenced reduced released while they are currently serving time. Pardons are given to people after their sentence was already served and can result in full forgiveness, resulting in restoration of certain rights, while a conditional pardon can be granted by shortened sentences for people anticipating conviction. In neither cases are a prisoner’s crimes expunged from their records.
