“ON ESCAPE

7) VANCOUVER (CP) A ‘BC. Supreme Court

. judge has ruled that a drug te icker continued to

" serye his sentence while: he” was at large after

escaping from . the ‘Lower: Mainland Regional
Correctional Centre (Oakalla).
Mr. Justice ‘Harry McKay relied on English:

. ¢0mmon law to. free Wayne Douglas Dunlop who

served only 27 days, of a two-year sentence for

; trafficking in ‘morphine, before, ;acaping June 28,
1978.

‘Dunlop was captured ‘March i, 1980, and was
charged with unlawiul escape, but the Crown did
not pursue the case, in court because it. lacked

. - evidence. od .
Dunlop wasn't subject to a prison disciplinary

bearing, but Oakalla authorities decided that he
~ Taust make up the eight months of unlawful freedom
by resuming hia drug sentence on | the day he was
Yearrested.
- Butbecause he wasn't convicted of escaping, hor
punished after a priacn hearing, Dunlop wanted his
escape time to count as part of his eentence time.

; “Tfind Itrepugnant,” the judge said, “to credit an
escaped prisoner with time served while unlawfully
at large, but 1 find It even more repugnant to have
jailers imposing penal consequences on prisoners
without statutory. authority am without infernal

disciplinary hearin;
