I lean toward Amanda's explanation.  Crouch wasn't in Azkaban 
long--he "died" there after only a year.  I can't currently retrieve 
GoF to get the details but Padfoot Returns and Veritaserum are the 
chapters to check.  I think he was plotting how to get out from day 
one and managed it pretty fast.
