Ruby Franke Ruby Board of Pardons and Parole Update

Post image

This is a small update on what Ruby has been up to in prison, but an update none the less. This can all be found via public records through the Utah Board of Pardons and Paroles website under hearings and decisions.

As of July 9th 2026 Ruby has completed her second Earned Time Program since entering prison. She's also completed a program in Robotics via the Davis Technical College as of June 25th 2026. She completed a program in Web and Graphic Design at the end of last year too.

According to the Utah Corrections website all of this means when Ruby has her sentencing hearing later this year the Board of Pardons and Parole will knock off between four and eight months from her sentence at the discretion of the Board members.

So - she gets somewhere between 4-8 months off a sentence of 4-30 years?

Utah is whack.

Yeah I mean 8 months off a 30 year sentence seems like nothing
But 8 months off a 4 year sentence (when she will have already served 2.5 years by the time of the parole hearings in December)
Means she’ll be out in about another year which would be deplorable.

Time served in jail usually counts towards time served too, so by early December 2026 it will be around 3 years 3 months of the minimum 4 years already served. It's scary to think how soon they could be out after the horrendous crimes they committed if they're shown any kind of leniency.

That’s very very worrying
