41-2-137. Failure to return from work on time as evidence of intent to escape Penalty.

In the event a prisoner placed under the work release program does not return to the workhouse at the time specified by the warden or the work release coordinator as a condition of being placed under the work release program, such failure to return shall constitute prima facie evidence of intent to escape and the prisoner shall thereby be subject to those penalties as are imposed or shall hereafter be imposed under the general law of the state of Tennessee for persons charged with the crime of escape.
