How have the courts treated the issue of escape under the Mental Health Act?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Wilke, 450 F.2d 877 (9th Cir. 1971):
This appeal is controlled by Bayless v. United States, 381 F.2d 67 (9th Cir. 1967). Explicit in the Bayless decision is the proposition that the act of leaving the "main institution" and hiding in the woods constituted an escape within the meaning of the statute. For that matter, such a conclusion is a necessary foundation for the ultimate decision in Bayless.
