For the first time in 25 years, incarcerated people in Wisconsin can ask the governor to shorten their sentences.

And a new poll commissioned by the ACLU suggests most Wisconsin voters support giving at least some people a form of clemency.

51% support ending or shortening sentences for people who meet certain criteria and can safely return to their communities, compared with 37% who oppose it.

Those findings come as 12 incarcerated Wisconsinites prepare to make their cases before the state’s Commutation Advisory Board on Friday — the first hearing since Gov. Tony Evers revived the process this spring.
