President Biden's decision to commute the sentences of nearly all federal death row prisoners reflects his commitment to abolishing the death penalty which he campaigned on in 2020.
I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, Mr. Biden stated, highlighting his moral stance against resuming executions.
Only three men, who are known to have committed notorious mass killings, will remain on federal death row, as Mr. Biden aims to shift the justice landscape.
Despite unsuccessful attempts to advance legislation aimed at ending the federal death penalty, Biden's actions underscore his administration's emphasis on a humane approach to justice.
