"Last year, Caron received a commuted sentence from the Minnesota Board of Pardons, the first person to do so in nearly three decades. However, she is imprisoned in Alabama for an unrelated federal drug charge for her role in a meth conspiracy case. She was sentenced to 14 years and has spent 6½ years in prison, which may be twice the amount of time she would have been ordered to serve if sentenced in 2021.

Caron, 38, is hoping for release so that she can have biological children. Minnesota Lawyer reports that Murray filed Caron’s petition, and Ingrid Hofeldt, 3L, drafted the petition under Murray’s supervision. Caron’s application is one of 17,000 clemency applications that the federal government needs to review"

Kelli Caron isn't another story about an inmate claiming to be innocent. She has accepted responsibility for her actions long ago. Kelli has used her time incarcerated to better herself in many ways.  She works full time, and in her spare time helped train service dogs for the disabled. 

Kelli also put herself through college while incarcerated. With only 2 classes shy of her degree. Now that she's in Alabama, that has been put on hold. 

Kelli has been punished enough and it's time to bring her home to her family. Unfortunately with such a backlog of cases,  the only hope at this point is to draw as much attention to her clemency request as possible.
