Final clemency decisions by President Joseph R. Biden will be listed within 1-3 business days after the decision is made, and a copy of the signed presidential clemency warrant will be available for download on our website. After clemency decisions are made, we will also update our website with detailed information regarding the offense, district of conviction, and sentence for those who are granted clemency.
