Moore pleaded guilty to attempted assassination and was sentenced to Life In Prison . On February 6, 1979 Moore escaped from her minimum security prison, the Alderson Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia , but was recaptured the next day. She is currently serving at the federal women’s prison in Pleasanton, California . TRIVIA Moore is one of the assassins portrayed in Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman 's musical '' Assassins ''. Moore is portrayed as a flaky accident-waiting-to-happen who can't wield a gun properly; in the Gun Song (the only song she sings outside of the Assassins as a group) when she 'squeezes her little finger to change the world' along with the boys, hers goes off although theirs do not, and in '''Everybody's Got the Right''' the Proprietor reminds her "Don't forget that guns can go boom," when she accidentally aims hers at him. Along with Fromme, she serves as a bit of comic relief before major events in the musical, such as Guiteau's assassination of James Garfield . A recent web site, http://www.gerispieler.com/, uses the Sara Jane Moore story as the basis for an unpublished book. QUOTES
