More than 450 nonviolent offenders in Oklahoma have reunited with their families in the largest mass commutation in U.S. history.
Inmates walk out of Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center in Taft, Oklahoma, on Monday, Nov. 4, 2019.The rest of the 527 inmates, 65 of them, are due to be freed once other holds are cleared up. All were being given driver's licenses or other state-issued identification cards, possessions vital to applying for jobs and seeking housing.
At facilities across the state on Monday, officials shepherded former inmates into the daylight, some of then overcome with emotion. "I've had a lot of time to think, not being able to see my children," Whisenhunt said."I'm from out of state — having to be in this state and so far away from my family has really given me some time to think about everything."
"God's not done yet," she said."He's given us the chance to be able to do something different with our lives."
