Looking into clemency for someone at Fishkill Correctional Facility? Here's what you need to know: the New York Governor can only grant clemency for New York state convictions—not federal or out-of-state cases. Submit applications to the Executive Clemency Bureau. An attorney or family member can file on the applicant's behalf. DOCCS compiles the person's criminal and facility records, then forwards the completed application to the Governor's Office. Commutations and pardons work differently. Commutations reduce sentence length, while pardons can relieve some or all legal consequences of a conviction. Pardons are typically considered only after court-ordered conditions—supervision, probation, fines—are completed. Special Youth Pardons for convictions at age 16 or 17 have a 10-year waiting period and strict eligibility rules tied to non-violent convictions.
