“We construe the quoted provision [Section 944.40] to mean that any sentence for escape must run consecutively to any other sentence or sentences to which the offender is subject at the time of the escape.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The punishment of imprisonment imposed under this section shall run consecutive to any former sentence imposed upon any prisoner. (Emphasis supplied)”
