The old woman will just keep stealing a mango once in a while, until people finally understand her, and allow her to come to rest in a better environment.
.. and prison happens to be better environment. At least in her mind. So win-win, harsh punishment keep youngsters at bay AND gets elders sent for rest :D
What is weird, they do have "life-long learning centers" and hobby communities geared towards elders and whatnot. Maybe her pride didn't allow her to go to those and declare she needs human contact? Meanwhile prison helps her to save face in some twisted way?
