Clarence
Aaron
Clemency
Petition
6/15/01
The Criminal Justice Policy Foundation
has offered an online clemency petition on behalf of Clarence Aaron, a
first-time, nonviolent drug offender serving three life sentences in federal
prison for a minor role in a drug conspiracy. Aaron's case was featured
in the PBS Frontline documentary "Snitch" in January 1999, along with the
case of Dorothy Gaines, one of a handful of drug prisoners granted clemency
by President Clinton.

to learn more about his case.
