Her sister Chantel moved to Corona, CA years ago so she could be near her sister at CIW. She fought so hard for this day. “For the past 23 years, I’ve had this burden in my heart every day. I could not live fully thinking about my sister in prison. Now that burden is lifted.”pic.twitter.com/ibctZ1jw4a

Here she is with her three year old granddaughter who has been visiting her in prison since she was four months old, but they have not been able to see each other since CDCR shut down all visitation in March due to Covid.pic.twitter.com/kBwZsGErrI

One of Pat’s daughters, Mistey, said it was hard not to think of how much time they lost. She was 12 when her mother went to prison, 36 now. “We built a relationship over 20-plus years behind prison walls, and over 15-minute phone calls. I’m ready to just be in her presence.”pic.twitter.com/HKybCh0zNj

Her son Alfey, who came up from Las Vegas to greet his mother, said he can’t wait to buy her an egg roll and all the other foods she has missed out on for two decades. “I can breathe with ease now,” he said.pic.twitter.com/iLjrQv431f

Many family members were recounting all the stressful visits they’ve had to this prison, the guards they’ve dealt with, the long waits, the searches. But this time they were overjoyed. A little dance party in the lot as we waited in the hot sun for hours for her release:pic.twitter.com/ebSqQo3hub

Here’s the brief moment the family finally laid eyes on Pat this morning from the other side of the gates. She went into processing after that, took awhile for her to actually come through the gates.pic.twitter.com/kjcHYUVIhV

Patricia Wright is one of many women who are at high risk of death inside California’s prisons due to Covid. They are survivors of domestic violence, prosecuted under laws that have long targeted women in abusive relationships.

Newsom has largely resisted efforts to release people serving life sentences for “serious” + “violent” offenses, including those at high risk of death. Wright’s grant of freedom appears to be the first time during Covid that he ordered immediate release of someone serving a life.

During Covid, Newsom has done a handful of commutations (which are not a guarantee of release) as well as early releases for thousands nearing the end of their sentences, generally for more “low level” or “nonviolent” cases. But people like Patricia have not been eligible.
