2. “[t]he word `detention' * * * is an abstract term which signifies, not the place or means of confinement, but a status. It constitutes the state of being held in some form of legal custody. * * * The word `break' as used in the statute means only the termination of being in legal custody, either with or without the use of force, and when it is done purposely, the crime proscribed by the statute is committed. * * * The crime however, is not in breaking out of the facility but in willfully terminating the status of being detained therein .”
