This bitch is a piece of shit.
Looks like she went from the jailhouse, to a REALLY nice farmhouse, to scott-free. Uncle Joe fucking up with some of these blanket pardons.

Prison and release
Crundwell was incarcerated at minimum-security
Federal Correctional Institution, Waseca in
Waseca, Minnesota. She was originally eligible and scheduled for release after serving 85% of her sentence (16 years 8 months) on March 5, 2030.
[33] Under the
First Step Act she was receiving
good conduct time deductions of 54 days per year off her sentence.
On April 27, 2020, Crundwell submitted a request for a compassionate release with the warden of the Federal Prison Camp in Waseca. On that same date she filed a motion with the Illinois Northern District Court in Rockford, Illinois.
[34] Her motion requested home confinement under the First Step Act. The motion also sought a transfer to home confinement based on a
Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic memo dated March 26, 2020 from Attorney General
William Barr to the
Federal Bureau of Prisons. Crundwell cited, amongst other things, her "health issues, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol"
[34][35] and her good conduct while incarcerated. The motion was withdrawn by Crundwell on May 18, 2020, a few days after Dixon City Council strongly opposed an early release. The motion withdrawing the home confinement request was granted on May 21, 2020.
[36]
A little over a year later, on August 4, 2021, after serving half of the required 85% of her sentence (about 8+1⁄2 years), she was released by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (i.e. not by a court) on compassionate grounds to a residential reentry center - a halfway house[37] or a home confinement,[38] possibly her brother Richard Humphrey's ranch (farm[34]) in Dixon as she suggested in her previously withdrawn request for release.[39] Two months later in October 2021 she was reported to live at the brother's 80-acre farm.[40] She was overseen by a residential reentry management field office in Chicago suburb Downers Grove, about 1h15min along Interstate 88 from Dixon.[35]
Her release date was listed as October 20, 2028.[41] On December 12, 2024, Crundwell's sentence was commuted by President Joe Biden.[42]
President Joe Biden on Thursday commuted the sentences of two of the Chicago area’s most notorious fraudsters: former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell and Eric Bloom, the onetime leader of a …

The decisions in the clemency petitions for Crundwell and Bloom were announced by the White House as part of a
massive list of some 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations. Biden’s orders do not wipe out their felony convictions, but end their sentences immediately.
The White House said the commutations were for people released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic.
