Family and supporters gathered at the women’s prison in Denver to welcome Robin Farris home.
. Farris also became the first woman Polis granted a sentence commutation to during his term.
A sentence commutation is not a pardon — the felony murder conviction will remain on Farris’ record. But now, she has an opportunity to reconnect with family and friends and live outside the prison walls. Farris already has a place to stay, a car her dad left her before he died, and a job working with her cousin’s daughter. She, and those around her, say she has transformed her life while in prison.
“ does not wipe away the mistakes, it does not wipe away the guilt and the accountability for what put the person in there. … I will never be in a state of rest because I understand what led me into prison, the gravity of it and the responsibility that I will always carry because of it,” Farris told The Denver Post in a phone interview from prison in January.
When news spread of Farris’ release, she said so many women came up to her and thanked her, even those who didn’t know her, because she had given them hope.
