The subject of this article is an analysis of the legal regulations on offences relating to the regaining of liberty by a person legally deprived of it in Italy, France and Spain. The author discusses the provisions relating to the offence of the escape of a person deprived of their liberty, the offence of assistance to escape and the offence of failure to return to a place of isolation after the time limit for allowing the person to leave the place temporarily. Similarities and differences between the solutions adopted in individual countries of the Roman legal culture, as well as between these solutions and the regulations contained in the Polish Criminal Code, are discussed. The analysis carried out led the author to formulate several de lege ferenda postulates.
