Abstract: The present English law on escape, prison breach and rescue is unnecessarily complicated and subject to the remants of history, when the death penalty (as well as drawing, hanging and quartering in the case of treason) could still beimposed. This area of the law should be modernised, in order to reflect the twenty-first century.
