A student at Columbia Journalism school, Shandukani Mulaudzi chose to write about the\u00a02014 Initiative on Executive Clemency for her Masters project. \u00a0To learn more, she reached out to Clemency expert, Amy Ralston Povah for insight into the murky world of who does and does not receive clemency. \u00a0Several emails and phone calls were exchanged over the course of eight months and ultimately, Shandukani interviewed clemency recipient Ramona Brant. \u00a0The audio version and transcript can be accessed on the Life of the Law site here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Although Shandukani’s thesis was not published, it was a remarkable essay that captured the spirit of the pros and cons associated with the clemency process. \u00a0She interviewed numerous individuals and did a remarkable job that sets the stage for a future career in journalism that everyone will likely benefit from.<\/p>\n
