President Joe Biden is commemorating Second Chance Month by announcing the first pardons and commutations of his administration.

Abraham Bolden, an 86-year-old former Secret Service agent who maintains he was wrongly convicted of trying to sell a copy of a Secret Service file, Betty Jo Bogans, a 51-year-old first-time offender who served seven years in prison for transporting crack cocaine for her boyfriend and his accomplice, and Dexter Jackson, a 52-year-old man who allowed marijuana dealers to meet buyers in his pool hall, were the three former inmates pardoned of their crimes, according to the White House.

Biden commended the trio for their commitment to rehabilitation and community service.
