After serving 42-years of a 60-year sentence, Maryland s longest-incarcerated woman prisoner, Eraina Pretty, is to be released from the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women.
The decision to free her came following a joint motion filed by University of Maryland attorneys Lila Meadows and Leigh Goodmark and the Baltimore City State s Attorney s Sentencing Review Unit, represented by Deputy State s Attorney Jan Bledsoe.
Subscribe We are grateful to [Baltimore City State s Attorney] Marilyn Mosby (D) and the Baltimore City State s Attorney s Office, who ultimately agreed that Ms. Pretty was worthy of the mercy the court exercised in her resentencing, Meadows and Goldmark said in a statement.
