Governor Evers Grants 210 Pardons | Madison News

Governor Tony Evers just granted pardons to 210 Wisconsinites, bringing his total to 2,237 since taking office — a bold move aimed at giving people who’ve served their time, made amends, and rebuilt their lives a fresh start. To qualify, applicants had to be convicted of a felony, complete their sentence at least five years ago, and have no pending charges — with a major exception for those on the sex offender registry. Unlike sentence commutations, these pardons erase the legal stigma of past convictions, all guided by a new executive order focused on second chances for those who’ve proven they’re ready to move forward.
