That bloke who escaped prison the other day on 16:45 - Sep 21 by strikalite
Not guilty plea because he believes he shouldn't be there in the first place?
I would assume his defence will be based on a technicality along those lines.
It's interesting to note that a number of countries (Germany being the most notable) do not criminalise/punish attempts to escape from prison, on the basis that they believe that it is human nature to seek to escape confinement, and that imprisonment is in contravention of the rights of the individual.
All an escapee from a German prison can be punished for is any offence committed in the act of escaping (criminal damage/assault/theft etc.,).
Maybe he was carrying his bedsheet back to his cell, tripped, fell outside and got tangled up with the bottom of a lorry. Only managed to free himself a few miles down the road.

I reckon that will be it. The actual charge is something along the lines of "escaping lawful incarceration" and he will most likely try to argue that his incarceration is not lawful.

“Germany being the most notable) do not criminalise/punish attempts to escape from prison, on the basis that they believe that it is human nature to seek to escape confinement, and that imprisonment is in contravention of the rights of the individual. ”
Maybe he’d prefer Colditz then…

'I was innocently going about my exercise duties when a passing lorry accidentally snagged my trousers, carrying me beyond the boundary of the premises in a manner that was beyond my control'.

Added to the fact of ‘why not’ He’s already inside and it was just a plea hearing. This way he gets ‘another’ day at court where he perhaps wants a bit more media attention etc. Chances are, he’ll either run with the defence of unlawful incarceration or simply plead guilty just to drag it out for as long as possible

He's just being awkward by making the Police and CPS prepare a full prosecution case, summon witnesses etc. My guess would be he'll plead guilty on the day of the trial.
Not sure how he'd answer the question 'where we you on [whatever day he was recaptured]?
