440.030 Escape of person from custody -- Warrant for capture.
If any person in custody under an execution, on mesne or final process, by any order of a
judge or on a charge of crime escapes, any judge, upon complaint and affidavit made of
the fact, shall issue as many warrants for his capture directed to all peace officers as he
deems necessary. The cause of the person's original commitment shall be mentioned in
the warrant, and it shall command all peace officers to capture the prisoner and forthwith
to convey and commit him to the prison of the county from which he escaped, to be safely
kept there, without bail, until discharged by due course of law. The warrant, with the
proper endorsement thereon, shall be returned by the proper officer to the clerk of the
court having jurisdiction of the cause for which the prisoner was in custody.
