More of your hypothetical opinions  - totally irrelevant to "The Facts" !!!  
It's common knowledge that no escapees' have intentions of getting recaptured, therefore the reason they escape! 
It wasn't Hodson's intention to get shot when he bashed Walker on the head with a huge iron bar, then continued to chase him so he could bash him some more - a silly dangerous action, with all those armed prison guards at the scene, aiming to fire. An iron bar was always handy to bash prisoners', in legal terms it's called criminal assault with a deadly weapon !!!
