Doesn't that beat all. Since he was acquited in Ohio, in basic fairness (though likely not strictly law), the Colorado system should reduce his incarceration by that amount; minimally, the parole board should consider his responsible action in returning to Colorado to serve his time. My guess is the corrections department is axle wrapped in regulations, and it's up to the parole board or governor to do anything positive for him.
For many reasons, lots of men will get within two years (or two months sometimes) of release and escape if given the chance (i.e. during work furlough or trustee off site excursions) ... who knows why they do it... Stockholm syndrome, taste of freedom, like the security of prison, very low self esteem - thinking they can't make it on the outside... that kind of thing probably.
