President Obama commuted the sentences of 58 inmates Thursday as part of his ongoing initiative to release federal prisoners who have received severe mandatory sentences for non-violent drug offenses.

With this latest round of commutations, Obama has granted clemency to a total 306 inmates, 110 of whom were serving life sentences. Obama has said he will continue granting commutations during his final months in office to inmates who meet certain criteria set out by the Justice Department.

Since the Obama administration launched its high-profile clemency initiative two years ago, thousands of inmates have applied. More than 9,000 petitions are pending.

Here are the names of the 58 prisoners who most recently received commutations, according to the Justice Department:

Jasmine Allen – Bunnell, Fla.

Offense: Conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base; manage or control a residence for the purpose of unlawfully manufacturing, storing and distributing a controlled substance; distribution of five grams or more of cocaine base; Middle District of Florida

Sentence: 235 months imprisonment; five years supervised release (Nov. 5, 2008); amended to 188 months imprisonment (Feb. 29, 2016)

Commutation Grant: Prison sentence commuted to expire on Sept. 2, 2016.

How many peoples’ OD deaths are they responsible for?

The junkies are responsible for their own deaths; no one held them down and forced the needle into their arms. The dealers are responsible for aiding and abetting.

I'm smelling a comeback...

That would be difficult because Charles Bronson died on September 1, 2003 of pneumonia. He was 81.
