Meh. These are people who were deemed too sick and old to be any kind of threat during the fucking Trump administration and released from prison back then because of the pandemic. These people should have all gotten pardons years ago, and it doesn’t do anything to alleviate or address all the suffering and human rights abuses being suffered by people who are actually in prisons.

Commutations, not pardons.
They’re still convicted felons, and we must assume deservedly so (I acknowledge some crimes are bullshit, eg marijuana charges).
They don’t particularly deserve pardons, they deserve humane sentences for their crimes – actual rehabilitation, mental health support, etc.
So you agree it is good.
It’s meh, I’ll take it.
Sure
