'PLYMOUTH, Michigan (AP) -- A California woman who escaped from a Michigan prison more than 30 years ago and remade her life as a suburban mother pleaded guilty to escape Tuesday after a judge said he would give her probation.

Susan LeFevre, 53, was in court for a routine hearing on the escape charge. But that changed unexpectedly after the offer from Wayne County Circuit Judge Leonard Townsend, defense attorney William Swor said.

"I was glad the judge was willing to inject some rationality into this environment," Swor said. "He said 'Enough is enough.'"

"She was crying," Swor said of LeFevre. "She was somewhat surprised and relieved that this could come to an end."
...
However, LeFevre must serve at least 5½ years on the drug charge that led to her original sentence of at least 10 years in prison sentence before getting a chance at parole.'
