Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom announced that he has granted pardons to two members of California tribes, the Koi Nation of Northern California and the Resighini Rancheria. Tribal leaders support these pardons, which recognize the grantees\u2019 efforts and successes in rehabilitation post-conviction, as well as their extraordinary service to their communities. These pardons coincide with Native American Heritage Month<\/a>, which honors the vibrancy and resiliency of Native American culture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The California Constitution gives the Governor the authority to grant executive clemency in the form of a pardon, commutation or reprieve. The Governor regards clemency as an important part of the criminal justice system that can incentivize accountability and rehabilitation and increase public safety by removing counterproductive barriers to successful reentry. A pardon may remove counterproductive barriers to employment and public service and restore civic rights and responsibilities. A pardon does not expunge or erase a conviction.<\/p>\n

Pardons recognize a person\u2019s efforts in self-development after their crime and their efforts to make amends. Clemency does not forgive or minimize the harm caused by a crime. The Governor carefully reviews every clemency application and considers a number of factors, including an applicant\u2019s self-development and conduct since the offense, the applicant\u2019s remorse and efforts to make amends, whether the grant is consistent with public safety and in the interest of justice, and the impact of a grant on the community, including crime victims and survivors.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s pardons do not restore firearm rights.<\/p>\n

While in office, Governor Newsom has granted a total of 88 pardons, 91 commutations and 29 reprieves.<\/p>\n

The Governor\u2019s Office encourages victims, survivors and witnesses to register with\u00a0CDCR\u2019s Office of Victims and Survivors Rights and Services<\/a>\u00a0to receive information about an incarcerated person\u2019s status. For general Information about victim services, to learn about victim-offender dialogues, or to register or update a registration confidentially, please visit\u00a0www.cdcr.ca.gov\/Victim_Services\/<\/a>\u00a0or call 1-877-256-6877 (toll free).<\/p>\n
