US President Joe Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 federal prisoners to life imprisonment, a decision that aligns with his administration’s moratorium on federal executions.
This development brings the number of federal prisoners on death row down to just three, marking a substantial reduction. President Biden’s action is seen as a major step towards reforming the country’s capital punishment system.
The White House has confirmed that the commutations are part of the administration’s efforts to address the unfairness and racial disparities in the application of the death penalty.
