After leaving prison, Hart largely disappeared from public view.
She had a short-lived show where she re-enacted her crime and then spoke about the horrors of Yuma Territorial Prison.
Following this she worked, under an alias, as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
In 1904, Hart was running a cigar store in Kansas City when she was arrested for receiving stolen property.
She was acquitted of the charge.

Accounts have her returning to Tucson 25 years after her imprisonment to visit the jail cell that once held her.
A census taker in 1940 claimed to have discovered Hart living in Arizona under a different name, as she had married again.
She lived a private life with her husband of 50 years, George Calvin “Cal” Bywater.
She is acknowledged as the only known female stagecoach robber in Arizona's history, earning her the nicknames of “Bandit Queen” or “Lady Bandit”.
