The pardons cover five people convicted of drug or alcohol offenses, and one woman convicted of murdering a husband she said abused her.
This fall, Mr. Biden issued categorical pardons for thousands of people convicted of simple marijuana possession. Issuing pardons at the end of a year or the end of a term is typical for U.S. presidents.
