Clemency . . . .
Yes, I just used the C word.
It seems we may be looking at some sentence commutation. And a group of organizations, including the Defender organization, NACDL, FAMM, and more, have formed Clemency Project 2014.
BOP is going to be sending notice to inmates outlining the criteria for which the president is looking and telling inmates how to get assistance from the Clemency Project.
If YOU would like to take a case, please contact Norman Reimer at clemencyproject@nacdl.org.
The criteria IN BRIEF(!):
* Drugs (any kind).
* Would sentence be lower if imposed today?
* Long sentence, clean record in custody, not a public-safety threat, and more. . . .
Also, if you have represented someone that you think might be a candidate and want to explore the criteria and/or want to recommend them for review in this process, you can call the office at 616-742-7420 and I can send you more info.
