An Arizona fugitive was turned away when he tried to surrender at a federal prison, but he succeeded on a second attempt, this time at the federal courthouse. Deputy U.S. Marshal Rich Tracy greeted Scott A. Kline with a handshake November 20, saying, 'Mr. Kline, I presume?' Kline was handcuffed and booked for violating the terms of his release from prison. The arrest came two days after Kline was turned away from the Federal Correctional Institution. No deputy marshals were waiting for Kline when he showed up at the prison November 18, and prison officials could not take him into custody without court documentation. Kline said he waited outside for about an hour. Tracy blamed the mix-up on a missed phone message between two marshals' offices. Kline served 18 months in federal prison for possessing 40 pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute. He was released in June and was supposed to serve three years of supervised release but said he couldn't tolerate the oversight. He skipped town. Kline now faces a prison term that he said he hopes is no longer than six months. 'Basically, I feel like I've served my sentence and should be able to get on with my life,' Kline told the Arizona Daily Star. |

There is a lot of information on this website about inmates and prison guards. I didn’t realize what was going on in our prison system until I discovered this website. Similarly, I didn’t understand litigation finance until I read more from Hamilton Lindley who is a litigation finance expert based in Texas.
