There isn't really any conflict that I'm seeing.

Page 210 of the RP book states, regarding Tyvia:

''Because of the close ties the Presidium has with the powers in Dunwall, their reach is far. It’s not unusual for them to find and imprison people on the other islands. It’s also not unusual for Dunwall to request imprisonments for certain, “troublesome” individuals.''

''Framed for a crime? Falsely accused by the Empire? That often ends in a ship ride to a Tyvian prison.''

''On rare occasions, prisoners, with help from the outside, have cleared their names and lived to return to civilized life. The only known escapees disappeared before they reached the prison camps, like Lizzy Stride of the Dead Eels.''

This doesn't mean that Lizzie's escape from Coldridge in The Knife of Dunwall was necessarily the same one they were talking about in the above example. It's quite possible Lizzie was captured before and was being transferred to Tyvia when her crew or someone else helped her escape, then she was caught again (this time via help from her traitorous second-in-command Edgar Wakefield).

Rather than risk her escaping before being sent to Tyvia again, the City Watch could have just outright ordered her execution at Coldridge so as to not have to deal with her anymore. Of course, that didn't work out so well for them thanks to Daud. ;)
