Individuals looking to request clemency as President Biden’s term comes to a close may be wondering how to navigate the process. Clemency, a form of mercy often seen in pardons or sentence commutations, can offer a fresh start for those previously convicted of crimes.
The process for requesting clemency can differ based on each case’s unique circumstances. Generally, petitions for clemency can be submitted directly to the President or the Office of the Pardon Attorney, including a thorough explanation and supporting documentation.
While clemency is not a guaranteed outcome and is at the President’s sole discretion, individuals should consider submitting a request before President Biden leaves office. Exploring options and taking the necessary steps to seek mercy is essential as the end of the Biden presidency draws near.
