Simple Definition
Escape is when someone breaks free from being held or restrained. It can also mean when someone leaves a place they are not supposed to without permission. This is against the law and is called an actual escape. If a police officer allows a prisoner to leave without permission, it is called a voluntary escape and is also against the law. If a prisoner leaves without the officer knowing, it is called a negligent escape.
