A look the history of clemency in Mass. and how Gov. Healey is using it now

Radio Boston tackles the topic of clemency.

First, we speak to Thomas Koonce, who was incarcerated for three decades for murder until former Governor Charlie Baker commuted his sentence last year. Koonce talks about what clemency has meant for his life.

Then, we explore the history of clemency in Massachusetts, and how Gov. Maura Healey is thinking about it in her administration with WBUR's Deb Becker and Patty Dejuneas, longtime attorney and current member of the Massachusetts Bar Association Clemency Task Force.
