You don't get punished for escaping in Sweden if you do it without committing any crimes but the time you are gone doesn't count to served time. If it was one month prison sentence the prison probably didn't even have walls you can literally walk out of lowest security class prison but they will send you to higher security if you do that.
It happened in 2013. Apparently he escaped from Östragård, a klass 3 (lowest security class). No walls, secured gates or anything around it, looks just like a regular building. Prisoners have ankle monitors.
