Escape (F) includes which of the following besides escaping from a detention facility?

• A. Escapes from custody, after being charged/ convicted of felony.
• B. Escapes from a petty offense.
• C. Escapes from a hospital.
• D. Escapes from a school.

Answer: (A)

Escape (F) covers more than just fleeing from a detention facility; it also applies to escapes from custody when a person is charged with or convicted of a felony. This is why the option describing escapes from custody after felony charges or a felony conviction is the best fit. The other scenarios—escaping from a petty offense, a hospital, or a school—do not involve custody tied to felony charges or a felony conviction and are not included under Escape (F). In practice, if someone escapes while in custody due to felony proceedings or a felony conviction, that action falls under this same offense category.
