العقاب

في بعض التشريعات، مثل تلك المطبقة في الولايات المتحدة، يعتبر الهروب من السجن جريمة جنائية. في ڤيرجينيا، تعتمد عقوبة الهروب من السجن على ما إذا قام السجين الهرب باستخدام القوة أوالعنف أوإطلاق النار على الحراس، وكذلك على خطورة الجريمة المحكوم عليه بها. في تشريعات أخرى (مثل التي تطبق في ألمانيا)، تقول فلسفة القانون حتى هذا العمل هوطبيعة إنسانية تتوق للهروب. في المكسيك، لا يتحمل الهارب أي مسئولية جنائية ولا يطبق عليه أي عقوبة إضافية عن التي حكم عليه بها من قبل الهروب؛ ومع ذلك فيسمح للضبط بإطلاق النار على السجناء أثناء محاولتهم الهرب. في المكسيك، الهروب غير قانوني إذا ما إستخدم الهرب العنف تجاه حراس أوملكية السجن أوإذا ما تم الهروب بمساعدة المسؤولين.
