Most recent update.

Found an unusual bug.

Had a previous prisoner become a colonist.  During a fight he developed an infection.  While infected he had a break and started wandering.  Fearing he would die I arrested him.
He showed up both on the colonist and prisoner lists when making a caravan.  He could not be selected as a colonist.
Also after a couple of prison breaks I downed him and both capture and rescue showed up as possible actions.  It would not allow me rescue him as he was still a prisoner.

That definitely sounds like a fun logic-loop, I'll see if I can come across it.

As a temporary work-around:
When you release a colonist prisoner that you arrested, they do become a colonist again. Obviously this doesn't work on prisoners never yet recruited. I've tested this about 4 times, and it doesn't look like there's a chance they leave the map (at least the probability isn't high, and you could just arrest them again).
