I agree with NS - is the brother for or against the prison break. If he's questioning it others might also. Maybe make it clearer

I'll act the thesaurus
noncompliant: obstinate, uncooperative, rebellious, unruly, insubordinate, defiant

A "neurotic writer" conjures up a Woody Allen image in my mind and imagining him breaking someone out of jail is funny on its own.
Is this a comedy?

The word noncompliant is a convoluted and confusing word for a logline unless critical to the plot. Does noncompliant mean he is noncompliant with the break out plan or in general with society at large?
Most criminals are noncompliant with the rest of society and if he is in jail then he is a criminal which means you don't need "noncompliant criminal" in the logline.

If noncompliant refers to the brother not wanting to comply with the breakout plan this could be quite an interesting comedy. As there have been many "breakout of jail" suspense films but few where the actual criminal him self doesn't want it.

Hope this helps.
