Welcome to the Clemency Board of the District of Columbia

The Clemency Board of the District of Columbia (Clemency Board) was created to help people convicted of DC 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 and the DOJ Pardon Attorney.
