People escape from the pen all the time. :shock:
"In 1998, the most recent year for which data are available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 6,530 people escaped or were AWOL from state prisons."
How Often Do Prisoners Escape?
"The last year with more escapees than recaptured prisoners was 1994, when 14,307 prisoners escaped and 13,346 were returned."
Theres probably better data somewhere.
It is a low number considering the population but that is still quite a few guys taking off.
