I've been disappointed in the low number of pardons and commutations the president has signed and feel there should be more. He did address this in his latest interview with the Huffington Post. I'm encouraged that the Justice Department is using The Clemency Report for this purpose.

These are some of my specific concerns:

They've done a lot to reform the system, but too many are incarcerated that shouldn't be with no end in sight. I want this president to end the suffering of these inmates and their families.
