A quick definition of negligent escape:

Term: Negligent Escape

Definition: Negligent escape is when a prisoner escapes from legal custody because the peace officer responsible for them was not careful enough. This is different from voluntary escape, where the peace officer allows the prisoner to leave on purpose. If a prisoner escapes because of negligence, the peace officer can still try to catch them again without getting in trouble, but if they voluntarily let the prisoner go, they will be held responsible for any debts or damages caused by the escape.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Negligent escape refers to the offense committed by a peace officer who negligently allows a prisoner to depart from legal custody. It is a type of escape, which is the act of breaking free from confinement, restraint, or an obligation.

Examples: If a police officer forgets to lock the cell door and a prisoner walks out, it is considered a negligent escape. On the other hand, if a prisoner uses force to break out of jail, it is considered an actual escape.

Explanation: Negligent escape occurs when a peace officer fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent a prisoner from escaping. The officer may be held responsible for the escape and may face disciplinary action or legal consequences. The examples illustrate the difference between negligent and actual escape, which is important in determining the severity of the offense and the appropriate punishment.
