The power to reprieve refers to the authority to temporarily suspend or delay the execution of a punishment, particularly in criminal cases. It is often exercised by a head of state or an executive authority, allowing for a pause that can lead to further review of the case or circumstances surrounding the punishment. Reprieves can provide relief to individuals facing imminent punishment, potentially leading to clemency or a more favorable outcome. This power is distinct from pardons, which fully absolve an individual of their crime.
