Eligible for parole in 1959, she chose to pass up the opportunity. One can only guess her reasoning. Perhaps she was not ready to face a public who hated her, or maybe she did not have a job. Lucas suggested there was talk of sending her back to Germany.

She applied for parole a year later and was turned down, because she had no job waiting. Later that year, she converted to Catholicism; the prison chaplain, Father Thomas Kerrigan, helped her find employment at Our Lady of Bethlehem School near Columbus, Ohio. Her parole was approved on January 12, 1961. After serving twelve years, she was released on July 10 under the condition she meet with her parole officer every two weeks for the next eighteen years.
