I believe in redemption, and I think US jail sentences are extremely excessive. That is an issue for voters. I do not believe in random justice where connected people can be pardoned even if they deserve so when there are literally millions in jail who could be as deserving. Sadly important today, pardons can be corrupt. Trump several times promised pardons for people willing to go to jail for him. And he delivered on those pardons. So yes I believe in redemption, but not by executive decree. That belongs in a time when we had kings with real power. Finally, the prison time is often from a plea bargain (I do not like those either but different story). So the time sentenced to does not always have a meaning.
