Conviction of escape from a detention facility is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison if the detention is the result of a conviction for a felony.
Burnett added that while the sheriff's office is currently down nine deputies and 18 deputies are eligible to retire at will, another four to six deputies are actively looking to leave.
