Jetamors:
It's mentioned somewhere in PoA or GoF (sorry, don't have the books 
with me) that people in Azkaban usually lose their magical power to 
the Dementors within a few weeks.  So by putting the DEs in Azkaban, 
the Ministry probably thought they were condemning them to lose their 
magic.  

Of course, everyone we know personally in the text seem to be 
exceptions to this rule.  Sirius escaped it because 1. the Dementors 
couldn't feed off his knowledge of his innocence and 2. he could turn 
into a dog when it got too bad.  I'm guessing the Death Eaters who 
escaped were able to cling to their sadness at the loss of Voldemort 
to keep their sanity and magic, though that's never stated.  Hagrid 
probably wasn't there long enough.  So loss of magic may occur less 
than the public believes.  Still, it seems to be possible.

~ Jetamors, wondering if any DEs were left behind after the breakout
