Escape Crime - Tousouzai

Crimes that undermine the legitimate detention of a state. There are cases where the detainee escapes by himself and cases where others are involved in the escape, but there are five specific cases. (1) Simple escape: When a convicted or untried prisoner escapes, the sentence is one year or less (Article 97 of the Penal Code). (2) Aggravated escape: When a convicted or untried prisoner or a person under arrest damages the place of detention or the equipment used for detention, commits assault or intimidation, or conspires with two or more people, the sentence is heavier and can be three months to five years (Article 98 of the same Code). (3) Kidnapping a detainee: When a person who is legally detained is kidnapped, the sentence is three months to five years (Article 99 of the same Code). (4) Aiding escape: When a person provides equipment for the escape of a person who is legally detained, or takes other actions that would facilitate the escape, the sentence is three years or less. If assault or intimidation is committed for the same purpose, the punishment is imprisonment for a period of not less than three months and not more than five years (Article 100 of the same law). (5) Crime of aiding escape by prison guards If a prison guard or escort of a person detained by law helps the detainee escape, the punishment is imprisonment for a period of not less than one year and not more than ten years (Article 101 of the same law). In addition, attempts to escape are also punishable for all crimes of escape (Article 102 of the same law).
