The Biden administration is asking offenders who were sent home from prison because of the pandemic to submit applications to have their sentences commuted, it emerged on Monday.
The idea would mean that potentially thousands of nonviolent offenders would not have to return to incarceration when the pandemic is over.
Those who have been asked to submit applications are drug offenders, released to home under the pandemic relief bill known as CARES, with four years or less on their sentences, according to Politico.
'While we are excited to hear the Biden administration is actively seeking clemency petitions for non violent drug offenders, we pray he will not carve up CARES Act recipients
