My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

Why should you be able to see your dad if those sons and daughters of those who died in the commission of a crime he was involved with dont ever get to see theirs? Can you actually give a good answer to those families? This is what justice should have been but is now been undone

The actual answer to your question lies in whether you believe prisons end result is supposed to be for punishment, rehabilitation, or a combination of the 2.

Condign punishment is important for victims whose grief will never be commuted.
