Kevin Smith the Lions running back was pretty useless too. Would you rather be the leading rusher on the worst football team of all time or a popular animal that never gets horny?

I vaguely remember not long after he was drafted a reporter asking him if he knew that the Lions had only won a single playoff game since 1957 and you could almost see the light go out of his eyes

They should take out the drug, put a nice GPS tracker in, and let the bird "go home".

Yeah. It's a disciplinary matter here. Imprisoning someone is already borderline illegal and making it illegal to pursue your own freedom is questionable.

No you just put them back in. Which you do regardless.

As opposed to start carting them around town while running them through a bunch of trials to then in the end put them back in prison again.

It's illegal to break out of prison because they usually don't give the warden the mandatory two weeks notice of vacating their cell. The warden has the right to look for a replacement criminal and to take care of any repairs/maintenance the previous criminal did in the cell prior to vacating it.

It's illegal to disobey a court order. A prison sentence is a court order. It's not unreasonable to treat as purely a disciplinary thing, but it's also totally consistent to treat as a crime. I can understand not knowing this is how the US handles it, and lord knows there's lots of hosed up stuff in the American penal system, but it's bizarre to me that you think this is worthy of a psyduck.

It just seems like a weird way to handle it as opposed to just putting them back in prison. Unless they hurt someone obviously.

As a disincentive to escape prison, fundamentally. Which makes prison more manageable for the state since people aren't always constantly trying escape since there would be literally no downside.

You jest, but in Mexico escaping from prison isn’t illegal, but escapees can be charged with theft of the orange jumpsuit on their back.

Why not just put them back in prison and give them a disciplinary punishment? Seems like a waste of time and money to run them through a trial for it.

Because the legal system is an ad hoc hodgepodge of statutes, precedents​, and traditions that accumulated over the course of two centuries and change, and there's zero incentive for politicians to spend time, money, and political capital fixing it just to save what amounts to pocket change on the relatively rare occasions someone escapes?

Maybe there is a limit on the punishments the prison staff are allowed it impose? Letting prisons, especially private prisons, add substantially to an inmate's sentence without providing any kind of evidence or or judicial oversight could be abused. Prison staff can effect the time an inmate serves based on their reports to the parole board, but that's different than being able to unilaterally add 5 years to the sentence for additional crimes.

That still sounds slow. Just make a Wheel of Justice! You get accused of a crime and go spin the wheel. Maybe you'll go free, maybe you'll get a fine, maybe jail, maybe death. It's is in God's hands now, and He knows what you deserve.
