On December 14th, I interviewed Prof. Rachel Barkow about clemency reform.
0:20 Prof. Barkow's Response
Kamala Harris. Kamala’s Plan to Transform the Criminal Justice System and Re-Envision Public Safety in America. September 9, 2020.
"Reform clemency process to form clemency/sentencing review units and significantly increase use of clemency.
The clemency process needs to be removed from the Department of Justice where there are inherent conflicts of interest. Specifically, DOJ should not determine whether individuals convicted by their own colleagues should be shortened or commuted."
