[Truman Show] How was Christof not arrested on charges of ‘false imprisonment’ since Truman kept trying to escape and they continued to stop him?

Even if he was ‘owned’ or ‘company property’ isn’t that a violation of human rights regardless?

Truman isn’t “owned” or “property”. He is the legally adopted son of the corporation. The company is his parent. As a child, this meant that they could very easily prevent him from leaving— parents have a lot of legal leeway regarding their children. 

As an adult, Christof’s position was that Truman never really wanted to escape, and any indications to the contrary are simply because you don’t know Truman like he does— he’s the parent after all, right?

Now, after Truman did escape, proving Christof wrong... Christof is likely in danger of legal problems, possibly criminally so. But given that it was all done through the corporation, it’s really hard to get arrests of people even when corporations do blatantly illegal things. Fines are more likely, possibly substantial ones. It’s also likely *deeply* liable on a civil level.

By the way, there’s a fan-theory that Westworld is the Truman Show’s massive studio lot repurposed after Truman left. (Unconfirmed and unconfirmable due to copyright and legal stuff, but so many details line up that it’s very possible the writers actually intended for this to be the case)  If true, this could be evidence that the Truman show was indeed fined or sued into oblivion, and all assets sold off to some other corporation.
