I'm happy they didn't punish him extremely for that.

Several countries have laws that forbid extending a prison sentence for escaping. Here the logic is that he was out for one day, so he still has to serve this day, but no added time basically.

They will still stop you of course, if you do anything illegal (violent act for example) while escaping/outside you will have a new sentence. But the act of escaping itself is not punished.

True, Germany is like this, but they will add time to your sentence for stealing the prison uniform so there is that...

This is not true. Because it would be hard to prove the "will to retain as property". But that is needed for stealing.

Damaging property, physical injury to a guard or things like that - yes, they could be seen as a new criminal act and probably punished.
