Stoopid war on drugs! I was able to find this. Back then you could get “forever” if you were caught with a seed in many states.

“
In jailhouse interviews, Walsh — who initially tried to deny her past when confronted by federal officers on Thursday — described the offense for which she was convicted as a low-level crime.
“It was a couple hundred dollars worth of drugs, a transaction that my friend did, and I was there in the car,” she told a local television station.
Walsh said she “just got in with the wrong crowd” as a teenager and was “experimenting” with drugs when she was arrested for allegedly dealing cocaine and heroin in 1975.
After a year at a detention camp, Walsh managed to escape by climbing a fence.
“And my grandfather was waiting ... a few blocks away,” she told the news station. “And the helicopters were overhead. I thought maybe they would shoot at me, and I just really didn’t care. I had to get out of there. And it was a very wrong thing to do.”
Walsh, who has lived in Carmel Valley for 10 years, said her family knew nothing of her former identity and fugitive status prior to her arrest.
Walsh characterized her reformed, family-oriented ways as grounds for mercy and lenience when she faces justice again in the Midwest.
“I’ve been through 30 years of paying off a debt (to society),” she said. “I hope that there’s some consideration for the fact that I did turn my life around.”

Yes! The ‘War on Drugs’ has kept many a LEO employed and many, many lives ruined. This is very likely a textbook case of that given how she has lived her life for the past 30 years.

That story doesn't match with what the prosecution claimed. They stated that she took the money herself and agreed to buy the drugs. Her boyfriend was the drug dealer, and she Either way, it's still a pretty minor thing. The government never even tried to accuse her of being a serious dealer...just a stupid kid who did break the law.

As I said, she'd get six months for that crime nowadays, and maybe not even that for a first offense. She's already done a year.
