In Germany, there’s no punishment for a prisoner who tries to escape from jail because it is a basic human instinct to be free.
Attempting to escape from prison is not punishable in Germany, as the law considers ‘freedom’ to be a basic human instinct. However, a prisoner who damages property, murders or assaults someone while escaping will be guilty of those crimes. If an escapee is caught, he is liable to be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.
