What happens to the one we cut?

So, as far as I understand, the Z team is a bunch of criminals who are allowed to walk free under supervision on the condition that they help SDN. Their alternatives seem to be either this or prison which seems only more clear after Chase says something along the lines "We will send you to whatever holes we dragged your asses out of if you don't behave.". After a similar threat from Robert during the meeting, one of the team members even state that they never wanted this in the first place.

So I thought it was only logical to assume that the one we cut from the team would be sent back to prison but when you cut them they just get up and walk out of the building on their own instead of being detained in some way. So I was wondering if there has been any explanation for this. Maybe some info from the comics?

Maybe we are confident that they won't be able to escape even if they want to? Maybe they're just... free to walk away for some reason?
