Is there a list of what the pardons and clemencies were for (broken down by type)? If not, this article is worse than useless.

There isn’t a list, but there is this quote in the article:
“Governors in neighboring states almost never grant killers clemency, while Huckabee has commuted the sentences of a dozen murderers.”

This article lists some of the pardons:

Huckabee let lots more criminals off the hook and contains this statement:
9 Percent of Prisoners Whom Huckabee Gave Clemencies Ended Up Back in Prison. According to state records, at least 9 percent of the prisoners who benefited from Huckabee's clemencies ended up in prison again. [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 8/1/04]
