Escapee faces exile if Celeste does not intervene
In Lorain County Jail Ivan Malone, 30, sits in an orange prison suit as he pleads for Gov. Celeste to intervene to stop extradition to Florida within 30 days. Malone, a Vietnam veteran and father of four, escaped Zephyrhills Institute in 1977 while serving a parole violation for a 1973 welding cable theft. He says drugs and war trauma worsened his condition, and his wife Ann recalls his nightly nightmares and distress since returning from Vietnam. He asks for help to stay in Ohio.
