Показать описание
A commutation is a type of executive clemency that reduces or terminates a sentence imposed for a criminal offense. It does not change or reverse a finding of guilt; it merely changes the sentence. Commutations are important to post-conviction relief as they reduce the time that an offender is incarcerated or eliminate incarceration altogether.
