Gov. Evers has restored Wisconsin's commutations process; here's what that means

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Friday, April 10, marks a major shift in Wisconsin's criminal justice system. 

Governor Tony Evers has signed two executive orders, officially restoring the state's commutation process -- something that hasn't been used in more than 25 years. A commutation is when a governor reduces someone's prison sentence so they can get out earlier, but it doesn't erase their conviction. Evers is also creating a new advisory board to review cases. 

We're joined by Beverly Walker, with the Integrity Center and the Commutations Committee, who played a key role in helping shape this new process.
