This happens with astonishing regularity in muslim countries... mass “escapes” by hundreds of terrorists from prisons.
I’m sure there was no corrupt activity by the guards... certainly no payoffs, threats, etc... nothing like that. /s
I've always said the best way to deal with a prison overcrowding situation is hot-bunking as you mentioned. Half of the prison population is on a chain gang 24/7. Twelve hours on and 12 off. Work their criminal asses off so hard, they won't have time or the energy to do anything else but eat and sleep once they get back to their cells.
