The point is you'd have to give up Facebook in order to flee. Some people can't give it up, so they sit and wait for their trial. Even in prison they can still be in contact with friends and family, which many people would prefer to a life on the run.

Anyone who'd choose prison over giving up Facebook doesn't need to be in prison, they need to in a mental ward; they have serious issues.

I can see what you're getting at, although I find it deeply depressing, but that isn't how I read the article.

The case of Jacob (Kobi) Alexander would also suggest it can be made to work.
