In a shocking display of mercy, South Carolina Governor Blesser has granted pardons, paroles, or commutations to 701 prisoners serving sentences in the state’s penitentiary or county convict squads. The move is a testament to the governor’s commitment to rehabilitation and reform, particularly in the face of a dwindling prisoner population. By the end of this week, fewer than 60 prisoners will remain behind bars.
