State prison officials were still looking Sunday for eight convicts who were released early by mistake. 32 inmates were mistakenly released early. All were serving time for meth-related convictions. State prison officials noticed their mistake a few days ago and began rounding up the convicts Friday. Many had been free for months before parole officers took them into custody. Several parole officers across the state were working overtime Sunday in an effort to find the convicts. Prison spokeswoman Dina Tyler said that if the men are found soon -- and they surrender -- they will not face additional jail time. All 32 were supposed to serve at least 70 percent of their sentence in prison before they were paroled. But prison officials mistakenly classified them as needing to spend as little as a sixth of their sentence in prison, counting time off for good behavior. |
