Why was Sara Olson released from prison on March 17, 2008 and re-arrested 4 days later? Was it a cruel hoax played on her by the prison? Was it the incompetency of prison staff to properly calculate her release date? Or, was something much more sinister at work?

If you would like to re-print this article in a magazine, newspaper, or journal, please contact Mike Rhodes, Editor of the Community Alliance at allianceditor [at] comcast.net or call (559) 978-4502.
