CALIFORNIA - Former 1970s radical Sara Jane Olson, who lived as a fugitive in Minnesota, went back to prison Saturday after her short-lived release on parole last week. According to the corrections officials, she has to serve one more year, as they miscalculated the date of her release. “The department is sensitive to the impact such an error has had on all involved in this case and sincerely regrets the mistake,” the chief deputy secretary for the California Department of Corrections, Scott Kernan declared at a news conference quoted by the Associated Press.

61-year-old Olson was arrested Saturday and imprisoned in Corona, nearby Los Angeles. She will be taken to the same prison she walked out Monday, the Central Women's Facility in Chowchilla and she will not be released until March 17, 2009. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, was outraged by the action and declared she might go on with a new hearing in front of the judge who first sentenced Olson, as her client is now being “illegally imprisoned.” Read more.
