Former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is anticipated to be released from the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, Colorado, on June 1, 2026. This follows the recent decision by Colorado Governor Jared Polis to commute her nine-year prison sentence, a move that has drawn attention across the state.
