On Dec. 23, in the final weeks of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted the federal death sentences of 37 prisoners to life in prison without the possibility of parole. All but three death row prisoners received commutations, including several who didn't ask for clemency.
Now back in office, President Trump is seeking to restart executions at the high-security prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, where all federal death sentences are carried out. Trump says he also plans to pursue capital punishment in future criminal cases.
In this bonus episode, we'll hear from one of the prisoners whose sentence was commuted as well as a woman whose mother was among the victims of a racist attack at a church in South Carolina. Her killer remains on federal death row.
