A former member of the radical 1970s group Symbionese Liberation Army is back in custody after a clerical error miscalculated her prison release date, a California Department of Corrections spokesman said Saturday. [video]

After serving six years in prison for trying to bomb police cars in the 1970s, former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson has been released on parole and reunited with the family she hid with for years.

If you think life in America is wild and woolly these days, consider the early '70s, when Radical Chic was de rigueur and when talk of the violent overthrow of the government wafted through space stations like Berkeley, Calif. There, such rhetoric was as much a part of daily life as clearlight acid and the tie-dye T-shirts favored by the radical children of orthodontists.

The story of the SLA gripped the nation. Now a film captures the craziness of the times.

Former Symbionese Liberation Army members and where they are now:

SACRAMENTO – The long, violent saga of the Symbionese Liberation Army finally came to an end.

SAN FRANCISCO - Former Symbionese Liberation Army member James Kilgore, who dodged authorities on bomb and murder charges for decades, was sentenced Monday to 41/2 years in prison on federal explosives and passport fraud convictions.
