Tue Aug 12 2008 (Updated 08/13/08) Why was Sara Olson Released and Re-Arrested?
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. The truth might be something even more sinister.

For the first time anywhere, Sara tells her story about what was behind her release and re-arrest. The article, on the link below, tells you the real reason why she and many other prisoners get released and re-arrested.
