DENVER — A small group huddled together Tuesday, chatting excitedly and holding colorful balloons as they waited for Robin Farris to walk through the doors of the Colorado Women’s Correctional Facility in Denver for the first time in more than 32 years.
When the time finally came, Farris, overcome with emotion, hugged her attorneys tightly, thanking them, and then embraced each family member. But it wasn’t until her 38-year-old daughter walked in to greet the mom she lost to prison at just 6 years old that the crowd took a step back.
Janell Farris cried into her mother’s arms as the pair rocked back and forth.
