CROSS-REFERENCES: § 4.60 - Complicity; § 13.10 - Attempt; § 58.10(d) - “Escape implement” defined. COMMENT: In many situations, the acts prohibited by this Section could be sufficiently far back or ambiguous, to make the complicity and attempt route difficult to prove. Accordingly, there is a sound basis for special provision treating the introduction of escape implements into a prison as a crime.
