“I don't know why people run away from open prisons. The whole point is that they need to prove they are trustworthy before they can be released. So now he either is going to spend his whole life on the run, not being able to take a proper job, claim any benefits or pensions, and live under the radar forever, or he is going to get caught and get a longer sentence in a harsher prison environment. Why not just wait until release??
I suppose it is because he is a criminal, this in itself means he is probably pretty dense.”
