Ana Belen Montes, who spent seven years growing up in Topeka as the daughter of a Menninger Foundation psychiatrist, doesn't regret having spied on the U.S. for Cuba, though it cost her more than 21 years of freedom.
“Prison is one of the last places I would have ever chosen to be in, but some things in life are worth going to prison for,” she wrote in a letter to a relative, said an article published in 2013 in the Washington Post.
Montes, 65, is to be released Sunday from Carswell Federal Medical Center at Fort Worth, Texas, according to the website of the federal Bureau of Prisons.
"I wish we could have kept her in there longer," CBS News was told last month by Chris Simmons, who was part of the team that gathered evidence against Montes. He has written a book, "Castro's Nemesis."
"I have never seen someone so heartless in all my life," he said.
