      1. This article by @ChMadar on clemency is quite thought-provoking, but I remain bearish on clemency as a solution. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-case-for-clemency/ …

      2B. If you can name any, bet it’s Maurice Clemmons, killer of 4 police officers. The successes? Completely ignored. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/01/AR2009120102601.html …

      3. But diff incentives for DAs: failure to press charges less high-profile than mercy for convict, more excuses to point to if he reoffends.

      4A. Data increasingly showing that cutting admits will likely reduce prison pops faster than letting out those serving long sentences…

      4B. … especially since those serving long sentences at state level are mostly (serious) violent offenders who’re unlikely to get clemency.

      4C. Ex: of 12,000 drug offenders admitted to NYS prisons in 2000, 50% out in 1 yr, 75% out in 5 yrs, only 23 (tot, not %) still in in 2013.

      5. Given relatively short median times spent in state prison, the solution has to be on front end: the county DA, not state governor.

      6. Greater gov clemency would certainly HELP, and @ChMadar’s points are good. But most efficient approaches much focus on entry, not exit.

      @JohnFPfaff Tanks for feedback, I don't disagree. Clemency is an important–though hardly the greater–part of lowering our incarceration rate

          @ChMadar @JohnFPfaff And in terms of people in in 2000 and still in in 2015, number very different in LA, PA than NY.

          True. It's why we should never really talk about punishment "in the US," just like we wouldn't homogenize "Europe." @davidminpdx @ChMadar

          @JohnFPfaff @ChMadar Totally. I mean Maine has a rate of <200. While Louisiana has a rate of 1000+
