"President Obama Cuts Short the Sentences of 111 Federal Inmates."
Emphasis mine. As if emphasis was needed...White House Counsel Neil Eggleston says the commutations underscore the president's commitment to using his clemency authority to give deserving individuals a second chance.
He says that Obama has granted a total of 673 commutations, more than the previous 10 presidents combined. More than a third of the recipients were serving life sentences.
