Excapees

Mr. Elvis Sweeney, a pegboard display engineer at the Family Dollar Store in Clopton Alabama on Route 10 next to the Dainty Digits Nail Salon, writes:

Dear Grammer Genious,

How come they call the people that excape from prison “excapees”? If their the ones that excaped, then their the excapERS, aren’t they? The ones that got excaped FROM are the excapees. The GUARDS would be the excapees. I mean, am I right?
