Oh look, the crypt keeper IS actually capable of using executive power for the rare good action. Do prisoners who had drug charges similar to Hunter's get released? No no, that's just for nepo babies. But at least he'll gesture at amnesty to pretend he's not nakedly abusing that power for it's own sake.

      When Trump was leaving office last time they literally went on a McKilling spree and McKilled thirteen people.

      The number of federal death sentences carried out under Trump since 2020 is more than in the previous 56 years combined, reducing the number of prisoners on federal death row by nearly a quarter.

          A 4% false incarceration rate would mean that 1% of all prisoners across the entire globe are Americans that didn't commit a crime.

          Joke of a country.

          Studies estimate that between 4-6% of people incarcerated in US prisons are actually innocent.

          The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country on the planet. If each state were a country, Georgia would rank fourth in incarceration. These rates are not explained by higher levels of violent crime.
