I imagine that most of the people there that were 'running from something' weren't running from Border Patrol or the CIA. More likely they either skipped bail for some minor charges, or were running from something like child support, minor drug charges, etc. Things where people have no heavy motivation to seek you out other than to put your name on 'watch lists' (e.g. someone is notified if you use a credit card in your name or something like that).
