I doubt very much if she was telling the truth about the ex. Sounds like a bunch of BS to win the judges' sympathy. She's been conning people for years, why would she stop now? Spurned boyfriends with thoughts of vengance probably wouldn't wait years to carry out their threats, and considering that when she goes back home she'll be known as a crook, con artist AND an ex-con, the ex-BF if he even exists will probably do everything he can to make sure he stays as far away from her as possible and pretends he never knew her.
Considering the way Covid-19 is blasting its way through the US prison system, she should be glad to be getting out of the country, although so far Hawaii is one of only 3 states that apparently has not reported any infections, at least in their state system, and the Federal prison(s) in the state are probably the same.
The Marshall Project and The Associated Press collected data on COVID-19 infections in state and federal prisons every week. See how the virus affected correctional facilities near you.

But I'm wondering about any restitution she might still owe as part of her sentence, what happens with that?
