    Governor Phil Murphy announced a plan that could lead to thousands of people receiving pardons or commutations.

    “This new clemency initiative is a cornerstone of our Administration’s efforts to make New Jersey the State of Second Chances. Today, we pledge to take a responsible and equity-driven approach to pardons and commutations that will prioritize the most compelling cases," Murphy said.

    Each clemency applicant will receive consideration from an advisory board. Murphy said the program is designed to address "inequities and unfairness in our system of justice in New Jersey."
