\u201cI think clemency was Obama\u2019s way of performing triage on the broken criminal justice system, and for that I respect him tremendously,\u201d said Amy Povah, founder of CAN-DO, a clemency nonprofit with a particular focus on advocacy for women.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are the world\u2019s leading incarcerator. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s time to take a victory lap about going down in history yet, when all these people were invited to participate. It\u2019s like throwing a big party, sending out 30,000 invitations, and everybody\u2019s waiting to get in.\u201d \u00a0Read the entire Online story:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI am extremely disappointed with the end result,\u201d said Povah. \u201cMany first offenders with exemplary conduct who have served 10-plus years \u2014 some more than 20 years \u2014 were passed over. These prisoners were led to believe if they met all the criteria, they would receive clemency. To deny those petitioners is an outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we can\u2019t penetrate it and we don\u2019t get a seat at the table, it\u2019s going to be devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
