Author convicted in Ariz. sweat lodge deaths freed Jul 12th 2013, 21:46, by By Associated Press, Associated Press FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — An author who saw his self-help business crash after he led a sweat lodge ceremony that left three people dead was paroled from prison on Friday after serving nearly two years for negligent homicide convictions. James Arthur Ray, 55, was freed from the state prison in Buckeye, near Phoenix. Nothing in his conditions of release prohibits him from holding self-help seminars or conducting another sweat lodge ceremony, but his brother said Ray has no immediate plans to resurrect his business.
