Listen "What do Pardons Mean for Justice?"

Episode Synopsis

Pardons seem to be trending lately, especially in politics. However, don't they undermine the entire justice system? In this episode we will discuss the 4 purposes of the justice system and corrections - starting way back with some biblical history. Then we will dive into presidential pardon powers, the pros and cons, as well as my personal views. As always, we will wrap up with ways you can help to make the justice system better. Also, if you are wondering what happened over the break, there will be a catch-up at the end as well.Support The Shakedown at: https://www.patreon.com/TheShakedown Find Shakedown merch and support us at: https://wayword.pressThe Shakedown on IG, Threads, FB, BlueSky, or TikTok: @gettheshakedownRainforest on IG: @lorax4lifeREFERENCESThe History of the Pardon Power, White House History https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-history-of-the-pardon-powerThe Four Purposes of Correctionshttps://cap-press.com/files/PPTwebsamples-DO%20NOT%20REMOVE/DelCastilloImpactofRegCrimLaw2eSampleSlides/DelCastilloImpactRegCrimLaw2eSampleSlides.pptx?srsltid=AfmBOorgozafe-3qdfPZWokXIkbHrjVlc24oXyvHiavuaTYqFzCSSbZbNumbers Chapter 35
