Freed prisoner: Obama doing 'wonderful things'
This week President Obama announced the commuting of prison sentences for 46 people, saying the sentences they received didn't fit the crime for these non-violent drug offenders.
In December 2014, he granted clemency to Cathy Lee Jones, who pleaded guilty to possession of drugs with the intent to sell. Jones took a plea deal in exchange for a 10 year sentence, but the judge overrode the agreement and sentenced her to 21 years,
She was released from prison this April after more than ten years in prison. She spoke to the BBC about her experience.
