WASHINGTON 鈥� Today the 老澳门开奖结果 released new polling indicating widespread, bipartisan support for categorical use of clemency, and provided a statement for the record on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security鈥檚 hearing on clemency commending Subcommittee Chair Lee, Vice Chair Bush, and others for their attention to the power of clemency as a tool for redemption and repair. The polling shows 68 percent of voters including: 81% of Democrats, 67 percent of Independents, and 52 percent of Republicans support 鈥渆nding or shortening the prison sentences of certain individuals in prison if they were to meet selected criteria and determined not to pose a threat to public safety.鈥� Moreover, 82 percent of the respondents believe that as laws change, people convicted under outdated laws should be given a chance to go home via clemency. Udi Ofer, deputy national political director of the 老澳门开奖结果, issued the following statement on the polling and subcommittee meeting: 鈥淭oday鈥檚 polling shows the strong public support for a variety of people to be returned safely to their homes, and this sentiment was echoed in the careful attention of many members of the House Subcommittee during today鈥檚 clemency hearing. Voters are hungry for bold action on clemency. 鈥淲e thank the House Judiciary Subcommittee for holding its hearing today. We also thank President Biden for his initial grant of clemency to 78 people, but much more is needed. President Biden and the Office of the Pardon Attorney must prioritize the use of clemency to provide people a chance to return to their families and communities. 鈥淭oo many people in our nation, disproportionately people of color, face incarceration under unjust laws or sentences and are needlessly separated from their families and loved ones. The 老澳门开奖结果 is urging the administration to adopt a categorical approach to clemency, creating a rebuttable presumption of release for people who fit a specific criteria. President Biden has both the authority and public support to correct long-standing injustices and provide relief from outdated laws and penalties by safely releasing people from prison.鈥�
