Cosby's health is allegedly in decline. Having worked tangentially in the court system for a time, it is cost effective to allow sick or infirmed people to not be incarcerated for as long as possible, as medical costs within the prison system are as much as triple what they might be on the outside.
While it is fun to contemplate Cosby trying to evade to Kazakhstan (where there aren’t even 1000 people of African background in the entire country), I don’t think he’s going anywhere. I would check his house for things he could use to off himself (including his magic pills) before I’d be concerned with him trying to flee. Maybe he will choke on a Pudding Pop.
