I guess that makes sense, although on a personal level, I’d rather serve time in a minimum security prison and get it over with than escape, inevitably get caught, and have additional time in a worse place.
I don't know, in principal I'd rather go and live in south america on a modest income (assuming you have carefully sequestered some investments) for the rest of my life than spend 20+ in prison which is effectively the rest of my life anyway.
