On March 24, Tamara Matheson was sentenced to 60 days in jail after pleading guilty to disrupting a holiday party at Forest Pharmaceuticals in 2003. Forest Pharmaceuticals has been a target of activists because it contracts some of its animal testing to Huntingdon Life Sciences.
Ohio officials, however, released her only 15 days into her sentence in order to alleviate overcrowding at the facility she was being housed in.
