Escapes from federal custody, 2017-2018 to 2020-2021 / Laura McKendy, Stephanie Biro, Josée Taylor, Leslie Anne Keown, Magda Miron & Daina Stanley.: PS83-3/455E-PDF

"The current report builds on previous research examining the nature and circumstances surrounding escapes from federal institutions (McKendy & Keown, 2017; Johnson & Motiuk, 1992a, 1992b). The present analysis examined all escapes (i.e., unlawful departures from institutional boundaries) occurring at federal institutions between the 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 fiscal years. During this time period, there was a total of 56 individuals who escaped from a federal institution, with the number of incidents declining from a high of 17 in 2017-2018 to a low of 11 in 2020-2021. As in previous years, a majority of incidents occurred in the Prairie region. This regional trend was particularly pronounced in 2020-2021, when nine out of 11 incidents occurred in the Prairie region"---Executive summary, page i.
