Many western countries don't even bother trying to prevent in escapes for some of their prisons. For instance in Germany about 20% of prisoners could run away daily - when they leave the prison to go to work or whatever ("open prisons"). But less than one in a hundred do. I probably don't need to tell you about some of the special Scandinavian prisons.
Most people just want to get their sentence behind them, not become a fugitive. It likely was the same for you.
- LegitShady 5y agoa 1% escape rate seems egregious
- atdrummond 5y agoWouldn’t it be less than 0.2%? It parsed to me as less than 1 out of 100 out of those who have the opportunity via work release or other community integration initiatives.
- dustintrex 5y agoOnce you're in open prison/work release etc you're usually both at the tail end of your sentence and enjoying much better conditions than you were earlier, both of which are major disincentives to risking resetting the clock.
- chmod775 5y agoYes. I should have clarified that.
