5-14-1. ESCAPE.

Any person who without lawful permission removes himself from custody, or fails to return to custody following temporary leave granted for a specific purpose or limited period is guilty of escape.

The word “custody” means arrest, detention in any facility for custody of persons under charge or conviction of crime, or any other detention for law enforcement purposes; but “custody” does not include supervision under probation or parole, or limitations incident to release on bail.

Escape is a Class B crime.

If any person convicted under this section is under sentence of imprisonment, his sentence on conviction for escape shall commence following the expiration of the term of the last sentence of his imprisonment.
