Is it 'escape' when an inmate leaves his/her jail cell, but doesn't intend to escape out of the facility? And does the 'intent' of the inmate even matter? These are questions that the Indiana Court of Appeals answered earlier today. While the majority did not consider it an act of escape and punishable as a crime, one judge dissented saying that indeed it was.
The Court's opinion can be found here:
