But if they go through the trial they will be most likely sentenced to a
couple of years of imprisonment!?
I used this once and since there was no response of the players afterwards
on an escape attempt or something alike, they all ended up creating new
characters (which is kind a like the same result as just killing them).

How do you get the PCs out in time so the players can continue with the same
character? And in a way that they don't take their escape/getting out for
granted and use it over and over again (appealing to your non-lethal GM
style)?
