Charles: Pushing for Clemency, Second Chances

Charles: Pushing for Clemency, Second Chances

Published 4 weeks ago
Description

Matthew Charles, a former inmate turned advocate, is collaborating with FAMM to urge President Trump and governors like Tennessees Bill Lee to expand clemency, focusing on inmates whove shown genuine change. Charles, who served over two decades on a thirty-five-year sentence for crack cocaine, emphasizes the need for earned opportunities, particularly for geriatric prisoners. FAMM recently sent a letter to eighteen governors advocating for broader clemency powers, with Governor Lee having previously used it to help around three hundred thirty-five people. Charles believes second chances can transform lives when leaders take action.
