The fundamental error in this construct is the notion that once a warrant is issued for an absconder that warrant will die of old age if a person stays hidden long enough.
That notion is incorrect. Warrants for escapees are the gift that keeps on giving, year after year.
A person who escapes from a correctional facility and gets caught anywhere in the US may well be extradited to the original state or territory to finish serving their sentence and face additional charges for the escape.
