Shouldn't there be a statute of limitations....

On capturing escaped prisoners. Seriously, if they have done as many of these people seem to have done and turned themselves into productive members of society who have put crime behind them and work hard like the rest of everyone else. It seems as though they have completed all of the rehabilitation and deterence rationales that people put behind jail. I have read three or four cases like this recently and I wonder how many man hours are put into catching someone over 38 years or so? Couldn't there be more productive use of the time? Especially if these people are living clean enough to stay off the radar...
