Use the terms "pardon," "reprieve," and "amnesty" in a paragraph.

A pardon is a governmental decision to forgive a person for a crime, erasing their criminal record and freeing them from the consequences of their actions. A reprieve, on the other hand, temporarily delays the punishment of an individual, providing them with additional time before their sentence is carried out. Amnesty is a broader measure, typically offered to a group of individuals, absolving them of legal consequences for specific offenses, often for political or humanitarian reasons.
