A Joke From The Past - A Law Known As Daylight Robbery

@Jayciedubb If you escape from captivity in the United Kingdom and get caught it's bad behaviour and it's unlikely you'll get parole not sure if you'll get punished I'm certainly right about not getting parole which means years more in prison.

@senghenydd You are not sent to gaol to be punished but as punishment, so loss of parole effectively is the punishment for escaping. Whether it's years more depends on the original sentence and the time already served; but I don't think they add to the original full term.

Escaping from prison seems now far harder than it used to be in the past, though. We rarely hear of escapes nowadays, but at one time they were not that uncommon.

@ArishMell There was a First Television Broadcast from the Old Bailey London I watched this ground breaking event, the Judge sentenced a man who had murdered his Grandfather to life imprisonment however she stated he would be eligible for parole in ten years so what ever way you look at that good behaviour in jail makes a difference, naturally the prisoner shouldn't be a threat to public safety, he was sentenced for two reasons one as a punishment and secondly because he is a threat to public safety.

There's a prisoner called Bronson who is quite a violent prisoner his sentence has been increased whilst in jail I'm not one hundred percent sure but believe he would now be a freeman had he behaved himself in jail, as it stands he will never be released.

Escaping from Open Prisons is quite easy they simply just walk away so I've been been lead to believe if they escape then there's little chance of parole, however as you stated there's very little chance of escaping from the proper prisons.
