Biden said many of the 1,500 people whose sentences he is commuting "would receive lower sentences if charged under today's laws, policies and practices," and that they have "successfully reintegrated into their families and communities and have shown that they deserve a second chance."

The 39 people being pardoned have shown "commitment to making their communities stronger and safer," the president said. Most were convicted of drug offenses.

What is a presidential pardon and a commutation of sentence? Here's what to know.

Commutation of sentence

A commutation of sentence "reduces a sentence, either totally or partially, that is then being served, but it does not change the fact of conviction, imply innocence, or remove civil disabilities that apply to the convicted person as a result of the criminal conviction," the DOJ says.

Additionally, a commutation of sentence may include the lifting of any financial obligations that are imposed as part of a sentence, such as a fine or restitution, and has no effect on a person's immigration status and will not prevent removal or deportation from the U.S.

A pedophile isn’t worthy of a commutation.
