What happens if you break out of the prison?

I assume that you're asking what happens if you get caught.  Of course, if you break out of prison the first thing that happens is that law enforcement officials try to track you down.  If they catch you, you are generally (this can vary by state in the United States) charged with the crime of escape.


The punishment for this varies by state also.  But for example, in Virginia, if you escape by "force or violence" (other than by setting fire to the prison) you are guilty of a Class 6 felony.  A Class 6 felony is punishable by a term of at least 1 year in prison but not more than 5 years.  That term in prison starts after your original term ends.


But again, it varies by state.


Is that what you're asking?
