The Definition of a Truly Libertarian Society

The definition of a truly libertarian society is surely one where escaping from prison is not a crime:

Prisoners Undercut Mexican Drug Crackdown (washingtonpost.com): "To the dismay of many law enforcement officials, escaping from prison is not a crime in Mexico. As long as the escapee does not commit another crime while escaping -- such as assaulting a guard -- there is no penalty. As one Supreme Court justice has explained, 'the person who tries to escape is seeking liberty, and that is deeply respected in the law.'"
