Full list of Trump's last-minute pardons and commutations. Lots of white-collar crime, a couple rappers, some atypically sympathetic cases (like a pardon for a guy convicted in 1965 of running a still, for which he served 9 months + 5 years probation with no further brushes with the law since; commuting a few "third strike" life sentences for nonviolent drug convictions), a former Republican Congressman who lied under oath, and some genuine miscarriages of justice.
Notably, no insurrectionists got pardons, nor did any of Trump's family, nor himself. He did pardon Steve Bannon, though.
EDIT: And the why of that is... Trump talked out of pardoning kids and Republican lawmakers
