In essence, provisions surroundingArticle 92 state that: successful escapes may not be punished(Article 91); connected offences committed with the sole intentionof facilitating escape and which do not entail any violence againstlife or limb occasion disciplinary punishment only (Article 93); andthe Power on which the escapee depends must be notified of anyrecapture, provided that notification of the escape has been made(Article 94).
