    Escape is a misdemeanor, and applies to someone in custody for a misdemeanor offense. Aggravated escape is a felony and applies to someone in custody for a felony. I cannot say whether the specific program you refer to is considered "custody". I would not advise it either way.

    Further, even if they don't charge him with escape, he likely can be returned to jail for violating the work release.

    How do you spell stupid? He has not committed a crime that is the end of the world. Being a fugitive from justice is.
