Legal Definition and Related Resources of Prison breach
Meaning of Prison breach
The act of one who is lawfully detained on a criminal charge, or under sentence for a crime, in breaking out of the place in which he is detained, against the will of the person by whom he is detained. It is something more than an escape, adding thereto a breaking out of custody. The breaking must be actual, but need not be intentional. Thus, if loose bricks on top of a prison wall are thrown by a convict in climbing over the same, it is a breach. Rus. & R. 458. The opening of a window or unlocking of a door in the course of an escape constitutes a breach. 53 N. J. Law, 488.
