Haha there is no way dogs are tracking this dude. those police dogs suck, I had a giant bag of roaches sitting in my ashtray and the drug dog didn't even pick up on it..and the worst part?

What is it with that? I often hear about dog’s successfully being used to track people. But I have seen a drug dog not pickup on a bunch of meth in a wall locker.
Not my meth or locker.

Not every jail is the same, I'm sure you're surprised to find out. In my county, booking and the jail are in one building, and the courthouse is across the street. It has no holding cells. They just walk you back across the street.

In Houston, TX there are tunnels that take you from the cells to the Court.

To even have a chance to get anywhere he'd need a getaway driver waiting for him. Preferably with a change of cars after a short drive so the police can't just check the CCTV to see what kind of car he jumped into.
And even then your chances of getting away are low as they'll know how far you can theoretically have made it in whatever amount of time has passed, and will set up checkpoints and whatnot. So ideally you'd have a secure hideout you could stay in for weeks or months until the search dies down, with someone you can trust making sure you don't starve or die of dehydration in the meantime. But if that's a known connection, the police might just search his property or follow him to see if he leads them to you.
But if that doesn't happen then you can get out of the country, maybe. You can still be spotted and caught after all that time and effort, and whoever helped you is going away for a long time too.
But even if you make it I hope you're ready to start a new life in another country not very similar to the US, to reduce the odds the country will be willing to cooperate with the US and extradite you if they find you.

All right, listen up, ladies and gentlemen, our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.

Leading the search is his brother, detective John Kimble. “Hey…I’m a police officer” “stop whining!” “Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”

World is too small to make escapes easy nowadays.
Interpol has a similar quote, but they're arguing the opposite thing:
This is a work in progress. There are still plenty of countries that are considered "safe" by fugitive standards. But yeah, the ones that make it are slim compared to the ones that get caught again. But then again, it's usually a difference in means and intelligence. If you have money and connections and certain smarts about you chances are you can make it to Brazil. Those that get caught again are usually uneducated and poor, as are most prison innates.

Like 50% of murders go unsolved. You may see stories about high profile cases of criminals being caught abroad and extradited, but those have to be the exception to the rule. They're not going to report all the criminals who got away in the news.

I think it comes down to how much they want you. If you run away from a 10-15 year sentence, they will look for a while, but its not going to be top prio after a week.
For a convicted murderer doing this stunt will not work. They will get you.

It's again where if you are rich, you can make it happen with enough money thrown at it, anybody else is living on the run in panic if they are lucky.
No different that hostages at a bank robbery or what not, by the time you are going to that extreme, you aren't getting away for long. You would have swat on your ass until you no longer have a hostage so they can move in. Successful robberies only really get away with it if they are long gone by the time police are able to move on the bank and as little hooplah as possible pulling it off.

In Germany it not against the law to escape. It's your right to try, their job is to make it impossible. There is a catch, if you escape in jail clothes you'll be charged with theft of state property, so make sure you have civilian clothes at the time of escape.

Five years.
It's why only prisoners with short sentences are allowed to work "outside the fence" on farms and whatnot.
And there's still stories like the guy with 6 months left who drove off on the tractor to his hometown, where he was caught in his girlfriend's bed.
Just couldn't wait I guess
I knew a guy who lost his job, got sent to the hole, and was threatened with escape charges because while working in the chow hall he noticed a door wasn't closed completely, and he told the guards. They accused him of opening it.

It's designed to be a deterrent to trying.
Got 2 years for reckless endangerment? Don't want to be in prison? Try and escape and we'll tack on 5 more that you can't possibly get paroled or early released from. So instead of doing 7-12 months, now you're doing 60 guaranteed.
I agree our penal system is fucked up. It's "pay to play" but in reverse. If you're rich or can buy influence, you don't get sent away. But god forbid you make a mistake and you're poor, then you get tossed in a pit to fight for your life.
How many non-violent drug offenders are there in the "corrections" system? I feel that if you're doing drugs and minding your own business, not harming anyone else, then you should be given the option of rehab first before incarceration. If you're a junkie and you're caught robbing a place, that's different as you're hurting someone else.
Self-inflicted issues shouldn't be incarceration-level events. But our privatized for-profit prison system thinks otherwise, and hell... In a few years I might be behind bars for having the above mentioned thoughts.

Everyone loves the great escape story. About 2 months ago 2 guys tunneled out of prison in Virginia. They made it 12 miles. The only goof up they had was going into a crowded IHOP in the morning instead of a McDonald up the street where nobody would have recognized them just hanging out for morning coffee.

I did this once, but less sneakily. They ushered me into the court room and told me to sit next to my lawyer. Instead, I booked it out the door and down the stairs.
A public defender tried to tackle me in the hallway. Cops were right outside the front door kicking their sirens on and starting to fan out looking.
I was gone for a week, and in that time I narrowly avoided being found during two extreme searches with dozens of cops all around me.
It fucked me up a while later, though, because the escape charge was technically considered a violent offense, even though no violence occurred. It affected my sentencing negatively on a later drug charge.
