Strange Rule: Prison Escape Not A Crime In 5 Countries

Prison escapes are not considered crimes in countries like Germany, Belgium, Austria, Mexico, and Denmark, based on the principle that "seeking freedom is natural."

Prisoners must escape without taking clothes or property to avoid criminal liability.
