FBI handles federal inmate escape cases.

• A. Writ of Habeas Corpus
• B. 18 USC 751(a)
• C. Escape Definition
• D. FBI Jurisdiction on Escapes

Answer: (D)

Escapes involving federal inmates fall under federal jurisdiction, so the primary investigative authority is the FBI. The FBI handles federal crimes and incidents connected to federal custody, making it the official agency responsible for investigating and coordinating such escapes. Writ of Habeas Corpus is a legal mechanism to challenge the legality of confinement, not a statement about who investigates escapes. A statute like 18 U.S.C. 751(a) defines what constitutes an escape, but it does not designate which agency handles the case. A general “Escape Definition” term describes the offense rather than who has jurisdiction to investigate it.
