  ESCAPE. An escape is tho deliverance of a person who is lawfully imprisoned, 
  out of prison, before such a person is entitled to such deliverance by law. 
  5 Mass. 310. 
       2. It will be proper to consider, first, what is a lawful imprisonment; 
  and, secondly, the different kinds of escapes. 
       3. When a man is imprisoned in a proper place under the process of a 
  court having jurisdiction in the case, he is lawfully imprisoned, 
  notwithstanding the proceedings may be irregular; but if the court has not 
  jurisdiction the imprisonment is unlawful, whether the process be regular or 
  otherwise. Bac. Ab. Escape. in civil cases, A 1; 13 John. 378; 5 John. 89; 1 
  Cowen, 309 8 Cowen, 192; 1 Root, R. 288. 
       4. Escapes are divided into voluntary and negligent; actual or 
  constructive; civil and criminal and escapes on mesne process and execution. 
       5.-1. A voluntary escape is the giving to a prisoner, voluntarily, 
  any liberty not authorized by law. 5 Mass. 310; 2 Chipm. 11. Letting a 
  prisoner confined under final process, out of prison for any, even the 
  shortest time, is an escape, although he afterwards return; 2 Bl. Rep. 1048; 
  1 Roll. Ab. 806; and this may be, (as in the case of imprisonment under a 
  ca. sa.) although an officer may accompany him. 3 Co. 44 a Plowd. 37; Hob. 
  202; 1 Bos. & Pull. 24 2 Bl. Rep. 1048. 
       6. The effect of a voluntary escape in a civil case, when the prisoner 
  is confined under final process, is to discharge the debtor, so that he 
  cannot be retaken by the sheriff; but he may be again arrested if he was 
  confined only on mesne process. 2 T. R. 172; 2 Barn. & A. 56. And the 
  plaintiff may retake the prisoner in either case. In a criminal case, on the 
  contrary, the officer not only has a right to recapture his prisoner, but it 
  is his duty to do so. 6 Hill, 344; Bac. Ab. Escape in civil cases, C. 
       7.-2. A negligent escape takes place when the prisoner goes at large, 
  unlawfully, either because the building or prison in which he is confined is 
  too weak to hold him, or because the keeper by carelessness lets him go out 
  of prison. 
       8. The consequences of a negligent escape are not so favorable to the 
  prisoner confined under final process, as they are when the escape is 
  voluntary, because in this case, the prisoner is to blame. He may therefore 
  be retaken. 
       9.-3. The escape is actual, when the prisoner in fact gets out of 
  prison and unlawfully regains his liberty. 
      10.-4. A constructive escape takes place when the prisoner obtains 
  more liberty than the law allows, although he still remains in confinement 
  The following cases are examples of such escapes: When a man marries his 
  prisoner. Plowd. 17; Bac. Ab. Escape, B 3. If an underkeeper be taken in 
  execution, and delivered at the prison, and neither the sheriff nor any 
  authorized person be there to receive him. 5 Mass. 310. And when the keeper 
  of a prison made one of the prisoners confined for a debt a turnkey, and 
  trusted him with the keys, it was held that this was a constructive escape. 
  2 Mason, 486. 
      11. Escapes in civil cases are, when the prisoner is charged in 
  execution or on mesne process for a debt or duty, and not for a criminal 
  offence, and he unlawfully gains his liberty. In this case, we have seen, 
  the prisoner may be retaken, if the escape have not been voluntary; and that 
  he may be retaken by the plaintiff when the escape has taken place without 
  his fault, whether the defendant be confined in execution or not; and that 
  the sheriff may retake the prisoner, who has been liberated by him, when he 
  was not confined on final process. 
      12. Escapes in criminal cases take place when a person lawfully in 
  prison, charged with a crime or under sentence, regains his liberty 
  unlawfully. The prisoner being to blame for not submitting to the law, and 
  in effecting his escape, may be retaken whether the escape was voluntary or 
  not. And he may be indicted, fined and imprisoned for so escaping. See 
  Prison. 
      13. Escape on mesne process is where the prisoner is not confined on 
  final process, but on some other process issued in the course of the 
  proceedings, and unlawfully obtains his liberty, such escape does not make 
  the officer liable, provided that on the return day of the writ, the 
  prisoner is forthcoming. 
      14. Escape on final process is when the prisoner obtains his liberty 
  unlawfully while lawfully confined, and under an execution or other final 
  decree. The officer is then, in general, liable to the plaintiff for the 
  amount of the debt. 
  
  

  ESCAPE, WARRANT. A warrant issued in England against a person who being 
  charged in custody in the king's bench or Fleet prison, in execution or 
  mesne process, escapes and goes at large. Jacob's L. D. h.t.
