A quick definition of escape warrant:
An escape warrant is a legal document that tells police officers to catch someone who has escaped from jail. It's like a special order that gives them permission to arrest the person and bring them back to jail. This type of warrant is different from other warrants, like search warrants or arrest warrants, because it's specifically for people who have already been in jail and ran away.A more thorough explanation:
An escape warrant is a type of warrant that directs a peace officer to rearrest a prisoner who has escaped from custody. It can also refer to a historical warrant granted to retake a prisoner who had escaped from a royal prison after being committed there.
For example, if a prisoner escapes from jail, the authorities may issue an escape warrant to law enforcement officers to find and arrest the escaped prisoner. This warrant gives the officers the legal authority to take the escaped prisoner back into custody.
