Abstract

The article reports on the possibility that the policy of outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama related to giving clemency to federal prisoners would be reversed with the election of Republican president-elect Donald Trump and the likely appointment of Obama critic Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama as attorney general. It is suggested that Obama's liberal criminal justice policies will be affected by this development. Other aspects of Obama's policies that will be affected are mentioned.
