Prison Escapee May Obtain His Freedom
James R. Jones, who escaped a Michigan prison farm 29 years ago and was recaptured after his wife turned him in, may be released soon. Leonart McConnell of the State Parole Board said the board is pursuing Jones’s release at the earliest possible moment and will contact the judge. Jones, 49, was living in Texas at arrest and faced no pardon proposal from Gov. Romney. He had fled in 1956 during a robbery sentence in Lenawee County and operated a children's amusement park in Harlingen, Texas, before being captured after his wife reported his fugitive status.
