Private contractors tasked with guarding a violent serial offender broke an absolute principal of looking after prisoners when they allowed him to escape and go on the run in Perth, WA's Corrective Services Minister says.

A private contractor for WA's prisons may face a $100,000 fine over the escape of a violent serial offender, according to the state's Corrective Services Minister, who says guards broke an"absolute principle" in their handling of the man in hospital.

The escape sparked a fruitless air and ground search around the city's CBD, and three days later Dodd remains on the run. "It is an absolute principle of looking after prisoners, you do not approach the prisoner by yourself, ever," Mr Logan told ABC Radio Perth. Mr Logan said this was apparently made possible because Broadspectrum had not followed the Department of Corrections' policy of requiring a prisoner to be held in both handcuffs and a security chain.
