Apparently George W. Bush used the Presidential power of pardoning and commutation in a more restrained fashion than most. 189 people were pardoned, but had served their full sentence first.
Of the 11 who's sentences he commuted, the last two were Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean - two border guards convicted of shooting and wounding a drug smuggler, than trying to cover up the incident. The sentences were commuted on January 19, 2009.

∙ 11y agoAccording to the Department of Justice, President George W. Bush issued pardons or granted commutations to 200 people during his eight years in office. Up to November 2012, President Obama had granted commutations or issued pardons only sixteen times. It is difficult to tell you the name of the last person Mr. Obama pardoned, since he announced five pardons simultaneously in 2011; the last person to whom he granted a commutation was Eugenia Marie Jennings, also in 2011.
