A commutation is a reduction of a person’s prison sentence. The reduction can be to time served (e.g., from 10 years to time served) or from a period of years to a shorter period of time (e.g., from 10 years to 5 years, or from death to life imprisonment, or from life without parole to life with parole eligibility).
