Member of Symbionese terror group goes back to slammer

They were the ones responsible for kidnapping Patty Hearst in the mid-70s and brainwashing her into assisting them. Katheleen Soliah, one of the former members of this creepy/filthy gang, has been arrested again (via Hot Air and Power Line):
Former Symbionese Liberation Army radical Sara Jane Olson went back to prison Saturday after just five days as a free woman.

State corrections officials said they released Olson early because of a "clerical error." They said she must now return to a women's prison in Chowchilla to serve as many as two more years for her role in crimes including the 1975 murder of a Carmichael woman during a bank robbery.

Olson's arrest on Saturday is the latest wrinkle in a high-profile case spanning three decades. Olson was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, the infamous band of radicals that kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst and later hid out in a midtown Sacramento Victorian on W Street.

She spent most of the past 20 years on the lam, living an unassuming life in Minnesota under an assumed name. She married a doctor and reared three children. The FBI tracked her down in 1999, after she was featured on the television show "America's Most Wanted."
California's legal system is most extremely awkward, which apparently caused this problem; they didn't give her a hard enough sentence.
