"As Kwame Kilpatrick adjusts to yet another new prison, the former Detroit mayor is seeking to shorten his stay and return home.
The disgraced former Detroit leader and ex-lawyer has filed for a commutation of his federal prison sentence, which has nearly 19 years left, United States Department of Justice records show.

In a lengthy message posted Tuesday on the Free Kwame Project website, Kilpatrick wrote that he was “ready [[mentally, emotionally, spiritually) to go home” and “By God’s grace, I have received a pardon from Him, through Christ Jesus."

Now, with the help of President Donald Trump, who has been flexing his pardon powers lately, Kilpatrick has reached out to ask for a commutation of his sentence.

"I pray that I will receive the opportunity for Pardon/Clemency from the President of the United States as well,” he said on the website".
