CLEMENCY IS DEFINED AS AN ACT OF LENIENCY OR DISPOSITION TO BE MERCIFUL, BUT AS A BROAD LEGAL TERM THE WORD INCLUDES PARDON, COMMUTATION OF SENTENCE, REPRIEVE, OR REMISSION OF FINES AND FORFEITURES.
What is a Clemency Petition? A clemency petition is where a person who was convicted of a crime asks either the Governor of the State in which they were convicted, or the President if the conviction was in Federal Court, to grant them some relief from the burden of their conviction.

Clemency Takes Several Forms: There are two ways clemency is conferred upon an individual: The president can commute their sentence, thus reducing their remaining time of incarceration, or the president can pardon them, which means that their original crime is forgiven and any current or future punishment stemming
Offense-Based Criteria: The applicant seeks clemency for a conviction of a crime or offense that is no longer illegal. There is no objection from the Prosecutor in any county where the applicant was convicted. The Conviction Review Unit (CRU) within the Office of the Attorney General has referred the application.
