“bullet” NJ fugitive arrested after 28 years on the run — The guy is 75 years old now. But they got him.

Jurado is being held in Philadelphia until he can be extradited to New Jersey. He served less than four months of a three- to 10-year prison sentence for drug offenses before he escaped. He will have to complete the original sentence and could get up to five more years in prison if he is convicted of escape.

So for a drug charge from 28 years ago, we’re going to pay for extradition, prison, and probably final days health costs for this 75 year old man. What could possibly make this worth the cost? Do we really need him in prison?
