In his first term Trump did more for prison reform than any of his predecessors. One of the people he commuted the sentence fo was Alice Johnson .She was in jail for cocaine trafficking. And spent 22 years in jail for a 1st time non-violent offense . (you will recall that it was Clueless Joe who sponsored tough mandatory sentencing while he was a Senator)

She wrote a book about her journey .

After Life: Alice Marie Johnson Tells Her Story of Hope and Redemption After Life in Prison - The Stream

She is a prison reform advocate.
From her bio from her web site

Quote:

---

For years, Alice lived a normal life with no prior criminal record. She was a manager at FedEx, a wife, and a loving mother. But, after an emotionally and financially tumultuous period in her life, and with few options, she made a terrible mistake and became involved in a drug conspiracy. Even though she played a minor role, she was convicted of attempted drug possession in 1996 and sentenced to a mandatory life plus 25 years sentence.
There’s a legend about a very unique bird called the phoenix. The phoenix is said to live for centuries, then it burns itself on a pyre and rises from the ashes anew to start another cycle of life.
Alice Marie Johnson went through the fire during her nearly 22 years of incarceration. While in prison, she arose anew by creating plays, teaching classes, becoming a hospice volunteer, being a mentor to broken women, coordinating a first ever Special Olympics for prisoners, and becoming an ordained minister.

She will step down from her foundation because Trump appointed her as pardon czar . In her role she will make pardon and clemency recommendations to him.
