Welcome to the Clemency Board of the District of Columbia

The District of Columbia Clemency Board (Clemency Board) was created to help people convicted of D.C. Code Offenses receive a pardon or commutation. Because the District of Columbia is not a state, the Clemency Board cannot grant clemency but it can recommend clemency to the President of the United States.
