(Harrisburg, Pa.) Gov. Tom Wolf granted 102 pardons in August, 26 of which were expedited review marijuana cases and has now pardoned more than 2,000 Pennsylvanians since taking office in 2015
In a release sent out by the Governors office Wolf called pardoning 2,000 Pennsylvanians “one of the greatest honors of my time in office.” He said “We all deserve the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and do better tomorrow—but, oftentimes, a record prevents positive forward motion, sparking a repetitive cycle of defeat,” “I firmly believe that with restored rights, pardoned Pennsylvanians prove themselves by stepping up and giving back to our communities.”
If you receive a pardon it means complete forgiveness by the state for a criminal conviction regardless of whether the sentence included prison time.
Applying for a pardon is free and doesn’t require a lawyer
