How to use "Pardon" in context?
When a person is incarcerated, they often times are cut off from their family and friends. This can be especially difficult for someone who is innocent of the crime they are incarcerated for. The process of restoring a pardon can help such a person reconnect with their loved ones and restore some of their dignity.
Some people argue that a pardon should only be granted to people who have actually been convicted of a crime. Others argue that a pardon should be granted to anyone who has served their time and is willing to re-enter society. No one system or standard should govern the granting of pardons.
