sara.jpg California based (Chowchilla in the Central Valley) political prisoner Sara Olson was released from prison on March 17, 2008 and re-arrested 4 days later. What was behind this bizarre incident which played out in the mainstream media? Some commentators speculated that it was behind the scenes maneuvering by right wing politicians that forced her re-arrest. Other analysts speculated that it was the incompetency of prison staff to properly calculate her release date. It was also suggested that this was a cruel hoax played on her by prison staff.
