Criminology-Jailbreak

Criminals who have been arrested, charged in a legal court, and sentenced to serve a jail
term are locked in prisons. Such criminals remain behind bars until parole is given to them or till
when they are released. They could be released on cash bail or once they finish serving their jail
term. Instances happen when such criminals decide to play otherwise by escaping from prison;
this is called busting out, a prison break, or jail breakout. It is a double crime when a police
officer is involved in the bust out. Let`s recap a criminal case that involved a prison break with

escape. Additionally, George would face extra charges of accepting a bribe to perpetrate a crime.
The most probable punishment for him would be five years or discharge from his job among

charges. Once arrested, he will be charged with a prison break offense in addition to his earlier
