Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is noteworthy that nowhere within the statute is there an explicit requirement that custody be for a state offense. Nor is there any indication that a prisoner’s status should be relevant to the escape inquiry. In fact, the statute is phrased in generic terms which tend to negate that very suggestion. It encompasses a person convicted of “an offense,” not “a . state offense.” It requires custody to be pursuant to the order of “a court,” not “a state court.””
