So when convicts try to escape, do they even punish them? Will they even look for them if they escape? If so, they are basically saying the government themselves are breaking the law!

I can see your perspective, it does seem a little illogical even from a legal lens.

This law is true in Belgium and some other countries too.

Here it is even news if there is no escape and not if there is prison break. :D

"In the first eight months of this year, there has not been a single successful escape from a Belgian prison. The last escape in the country was 18 months ago. "
