Thought this was interesting. Dude had a year left. How long will he have left now after the new escape charge?

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - An inmate is back in custody after jumping out of a transport van leaving a job site Tuesday afternoon.
The escapee, Shawn Simien, 34, of Calcasieu Parish, escaped near Plank and Hooper Road. He was serving time for first-degree robbery and had only a year left of his sentence.
Simien was apprehended around 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, in an empty building off Maplewood Drive in the Glen Oaks area. Multiple law enforcement agencies assisted with this arrest.
He will now face an additional charge of simple escape.
A spokeswoman with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said Simien was a state inmate who is being housed in a work release facility in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Pretty sure it’s 5 years and it’s flat time meaning you do every day of it.

A successful escape? Negative years, and you get to pick how many.

2nd degree felony in Florida, which means up to 15 years.

I'm not sure, but it'd be fun planning and trying at least once don't you think. Hell you're already prison, why not.

§110. Simple escape; aggravated escape
A. Simple escape shall mean any of the following: (1) The intentional departure, under circumstances wherein human life is not endangered, of a person imprisoned, committed, or detained from a place where such person is legally confined, from a designated area of a place where such person is legally confined, or from the lawful custody of any law enforcement officer or officer of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.

Eta: Didn’t realize the escape was from work release. The post after this one has the correct subsection and penalty provision.

Not at all; I hadn’t read the article, so I didn’t realize this was an escape from work release. The subsection I posted is for escapes from detention facilities themselves. Your citation is actually more accurate and on point

Granted I’ve never been to prison, but when you’re serving time a just surviving day to day, you probably lose all reference to time like weeks, months, etc. You just think about being done.

He might just be a slapdick, but a good percentage of the facially stupid escapes are because there’s something time sensitive going on in their life: their significant other said they are moving on, they have a sick/dying parent, etc, etc. Basically, they are willing to eat more time to get out for a singular purpose for a short period.
Also, most of the people in prison are there because they aren’t great at evaluating long term risk/reward or cost/benefit analysis.

What an idiot. He was basically out - work release facility with one year left. Now he's looking at 5 years back in real prison???
