• In Mexico it is not illegal to attempt or succeed in escaping prison. You will not get additional charges or time for attempting an escape or succeeding and then getting caught.

      It is written into their constitution that the desire for freedom is a human right.

        Same in Germany I think. But you will get extra charges if anything or anyone is damaged in your attempt

          My understanding is that the act of attempting/succeeding at escaping is not illegal, but any illegal acts committed during the process are, so basically if someone leaves the door wide open and you walk out that’s not illegal but it’s next to impossible to otherwise achieve
