76-year-old sent back to prison after missing phone call during class

A 76-year-old woman is going back to prison after reportedly missed a phone call from officials charged with supervising her while was taking a computer word-processing course in Baltimore Inner Harbor.

Gwen Levi is just one of many federal prisoners who was released from prison and sent to home confinement during the pandemic according to a report from The Washington Post. A memo issued in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s administration granted the Federal Bureau of Prisons the authority to return the 4,500 inmates to prison for minor infractions, including Levi.

Levi’s attorney, Sapna Mirchandani, a federal public defender in Maryland, said “there’s no question” that Levi was in class. However, she says federal authorities told her “because [Levi] could have been robbing a bank, they’re going to treat her as if she was robbing a bank.”

Levi’s ankle monitor was triggered at 10:51 a.m. in earlier June, and didn’t answer her phone. The monitor showed Levi back at her approved address by 1:17 p.m., but the incident is still being treated as an “escape.”

In a statement from her attorney, Levi says she is “devastated.” “I feel like I was attempting to do all the right things,” said Levi, who has been living with her 94-year-old mother. “Breaking rules is not who I am. I tried to explain what happened and to tell the truth. At no time did I think I wasn’t supposed to go to that class. I apologize to my mother and my family for what this is doing to them.”Levi had been sentenced to 24 years in prison for dealing heroin and has served 16 years and might be headed back to complete her term after a year back in the real world, during which she had been volunteering with prisoner advocacy organizations and rebuilding her relationships with family. The Trump memo hasn’t been rescinded by the Joe Biden administration, and according to The Post, neither the Biden White House nor the Justice Department has issued a comment on inmates returning to prison. Kristie A. Breshears, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons, told the news outlet her staff doesn’t make the decisions to return people to “secure custody” in a “capricious or retaliatory manner.”

She was reincarcerated and has been in jail since June 12 as she awaits a transfer to federal prison.
