5 prison employees investigated in Sara Jane Olson release
SACRAMENTO – Five state prison employees who reviewed the file of former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson are under investigation in connection with her accidental early release last week, state officials said today.
The employees include three rank-and-file workers who calculate inmate release dates and two administrators.
Olson, formerly known as Kathleen Soliah, was in prison for crimes she committed with the radical group in Los Angeles and Sacramento counties in 1975. She was freed March 17, but after an outcry by local law enforcement agencies, state officials realized that she must serve at least one more year. Olson was rearrested Saturday and has been returned to prison.
