A: It depends. In most cases, the warrant is issued quickly and you will be charged with the Escape case at around the same time you are in court to be re-sentenced to DOC on the remainder of your time. It does happen that there is a delay and the Escape charge will not show until you are re-paroled on the sentence. If you have not appeared on your Escape case before being returned to DOC, be sure to file a detainer to avoid paroling to a hold for the Escape warrant.
