Escape does not include which scenario?

• A. Violations of conditions of community supervision or parole that do not impose confinement
• B. Temporary leave with permission
• C. A scheduled family visit from jail
• D. Leaving custody without permission

Answer: (A)

Escape is about leaving custody or confinement or failing to return to custody. Violations of conditions of community supervision or parole that do not impose confinement do not involve escaping from custody; they are violations of supervision terms and are handled as parole/probation issues rather than as the crime of escape. That distinction is why this scenario does not qualify as escape. The other situations involve being outside custody in ways that can be considered unauthorized departures or authorized absences, which is why they are treated differently under the escape concept.
