White House aides are reporting President Barrack Obama is set to commute the sentences of dozens of nonviolent federal drug offenders in the coming weeks. This would be an impactful event as there is a preponderance of nonviolent offenders to violent offenders caught up in the penal system.

The total number of commutations for Obama’s presidency could surpass 80 ( more than any other U.S.President), but more than 30,000 federal inmates have come forward in response to his administration’s call for clemency applications. The cumbersome reviewing tasks has only advanced a small fraction of the 30,000 applications, but President Obama will work diligently to fulfill his outlook. Hopefully, Obama can formulate a team to assist in launching an expeditious clemency process.
