Hundreds of Oklahoma inmates being released Monday in largest commutation in U.S. history

Oklahoma voters approved a state question in 2016 that changed simple drug possession and low-level property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Stitt signed a bill this year that retroactively adjusted those sentences, approving a fast-track commutation docket for those who met the criteria.

…The state is also making sure that the released inmates receive a state-issued driver’s license or state-issued identification card — items that are key as those inmates begin to reenter society, apply for jobs and seek housing.
