President Obama commuted the sentences of 214 federal prisoners on Wednesday. Here's what that chart looks like for all pardons and commutations, including the latest batch announced by the Obama administration. Back then, he was issuing pardons and commutations at a slower rate than any president of the past century. But the clemency picture under Obama is now very different than it was just two years ago, before Obama's clemency work started in earnest. At least 67 of them were serving life sentences, many of those for nonviolent drug crimes.
