I hope I'm being too cynical. But Roko hasn't considered the possibility, and she should have.
The easiest, quickest and cheapest solution for the system to deal with May's substandard chassis is to just revoke her parole with no reason given. Otherwise there may be inquiries into who sold the government shoddy goods, the contractual arrangements etc. Powerful people too big to jail might be inconvenienced. Easier to make the problem go away.

Abs domain?
(I refuse to apologise for this joke. Even though it makes no sense.)

You mean sending May back to robot jail? Not gonna happen, as long as May has a say in it. And Roko may have thought about it, but discarded it, for the obvious reasons (including stigmatizing May more, unnecessarily).
Would it be easier and cheaper for the System? Very much so, and hardly anyone would even think about believing May's side.

There is one reason and one reason only why this won't happen (at least in an in-universe context): May now has Roko fighting in her corner. Persecuting someone with a representative who is willing to fight is just a long-running low-intensity headache for whichever ADA has been left with the case file. The long-running cost and inconvenience of having to oppose appeal after appeal and endless negative publicity would turn out to be worse for those in power than just giving May a sparkly new chassis.
Right now, the easiest solution is to say "We'll look into it" and then not to do so. May is going to end up having to source her own new body but I can see the Department of Corrections covering around half the cost in exchange for this particular dead raccoon being thrown in someone else's back yard.
