escapee

escapee. A prisoner or other inmate who has escaped from lawful custody. [Cases: Escape

1. C.J.S. Escape §§ 2–3, 5–10, 12, 27, 44.]

“The word ‘escapee’ is employed at times by those who are not careful in the use of language. They probably think this word is comparable to ‘arrestee’ or ‘employee.’ But the arrestee did not do the arresting and the employee did not do the employing. The employee does the work but that makes him a worker, not a workee.” Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 560 (3d ed. 1982).
