From what I understand, at least in some countries, you can still be charged for any minor crimes you commit along the way, such as if you take prison clothes with you or damage something on your way out.
That makes sense. Although, I'd imagine if you're trying to escape, your sentence is likely for a considerable amount of time, so any additional time for stealing, vandalism/destruction of property, etc, won't hurt you too much.
You will also face disciplinary consequences in the prison once they capture you, which includes loss of privileges and solitary confinement.
Yeah, but that's a risk they're willing to take.
most of these nations don't allow the use of solitary
IIRC one of the few "success stories" of this was a prisoner that escaped by sneaking into a helicopter, technically commiting no crimes.
Trying to escape, eh? Well I can't say as I blame you.
Yes, but in Belgium as in most countries you still get charged for damaging property or hurting poeple if you do so while escaping. A few years ago a mother was exempt from charges when she tried to assist her son in escaping because that is what every mother would do if they loved their child.
This is actually quite wholesome
