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.
Sara Jane Olson was freed Monday.
But her earliest release date is now March 17, 2009, Chief Deputy Secretary Scott Kernan said, calling the error "an aberration."
"Our department immediately rearrested her, and she will serve her full sentence," Kernan said.
He described Olson as cooperative and said the arrest took place "without incident."
She will serve the year at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, California.
"The department is sensitive to the impact such an error has had on all involved in this case and sincerely regrets the mistake," Kernan said.

Friday's legal update about Bay Area anti-war arrestees
* Kurt Therklsen has been released from jail and his case has been discharged (meaning dropped, but theoretically could be re-filed within 15 days, which would be April 7th).
* Kenneth Pack, who was bailed out yesterday, has also been discharged (also depending on the charges not being re-charged by April 7th).
*Brian Reggins and Mitch Inclan were arraigned this morning and their charges were reduced to misdemeanors. They were NOT released on their own recognizance but we think Mitch may be being bailed out. Both have lawyers and have a pre-trial court date April 1 and trial date, April 11 or shortly after that. Brian will stay in jail until then unless someone bails him out. His bail was reduced to $15,000. His support people are organizing his support and raising money to post his bond. They will be passing a hat tonight at the Anarchist Bookfair Cafe. If you would like to donate money or help support the release of these folks (and their continued legal support) please contact the DASW Legal Working Group on teh NLG legal hotline at 285-1011. For support for Brian Reggins and Mitch Inclin, contact Faun at (925) 437-4682 or pitchpipeinfo-at-riseup.net
* Mitchell Anderson was released yesterday and also has a lawyer and a court date April 4.
