According to a news portal, just like Maggie, if someone were to get a 40-60 year-long sentence it would be for some serious crime.  Space Force as a show is based on a bit of comedy and thus tends to exaggerate things. However, in the real world, according to a news portal, a sentence of 40-60 years can be given to someone for crimes like kidnapping or piracy. This has led to fans assuming that perhaps Maggie got herself into air piracy which later became the cause for her jail time. A news portal proposed the assumption that perhaps Maggie got fed up of travelling and resorted to hijacking a plane after having a breakdown. She then must’ve asked the plane to head back to DC as the travelling from DC to Colorado to meet her husband must have taken a toll on her. Hence fans have been assuming that maybe this is the explanation to why Maggie ended up in jail in the first place.
