I’m sure she was discovered and picked up out of some routine but it just sounds weird. What else would they pick you up for after 36 years?
We have statute of limitations on stuff, I guess escaping isn’t one of them.
Statute of limitations refers to them bring chargers after a period of time. In this case she was convicted, sentenced and escaped. She still owes the time.
Not to worry once they waste the money bring her back home they will kick her loose.
Apparently not. I'm surprised, especially wince the original case was Larceny.
Here's a similar story about a guy who was in the slammer for Burglary, and escaped from a Detroit area jail in 1969. They granted him an "Administrative Discharge" because he's over 80, so no S of L on Prison Escape.
