2019 movie about a prison warden (8)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for clemency that I've seen before include "Mercy, lenience" , "Readiness to forgive" , "Leniency and compassion towards offenders" , "The quality of mercy" , "Mercy or charity" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
