Defendant is charged with the crime of permitting escape.
That defendant acted knowingly or recklessly. A public servant concerned in detention is an employee of a governmental entity, be it at the municipal, county or State level, whose employment is related to the custody and control of persons under arrest or confined in an institution on a charge or conviction. To permit an escape is to allow it to happen. Official detention basically means arrest or confinement in an institution on a charge or conviction. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that, considering the nature and purpose of the actor's conduct and the circumstances known to the actor, its disregard involves a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a reasonable person would observe in the actor's situation.
