The guy in the guard tower was fired, not the acting warden and not the actual warden who’s been on administrative leave since Aug 3rd.
You had 2 prisoners escape the same exact way. Running a prison you have 2 things you need to do. 1) Keep the prisoners inside the prison. 2) Feed the prisoners.
If you look at the video, it only took him a handful of seconds to climb the wall, if you look away for 2 minutes that could be plenty of time for someone to escape if they time it right.
It seem like what’s really needed is a small roof/awning build over that area so you can’t just climb straight up to the roof.
The first time I saw the video, you could see him through the window on the door landing on the other side less than a minute later. For some reason every version of the clip I’ve seen posted since then cuts off earlier. I don’t know what the layout of the prison is, but I don’t think he spent much time at all running around in the open on the roof and once he was on the other side of that wall I suspect he was somewhere they don’t expect prisons to be at that time so watching it was probably a bit of an afterthought.
Seems like adding numerous expensive and time-consuming security layers isn’t the most efficient way to prevent them escaping. Maybe the prisons should try giving them better living conditions and then they won’t try so hard to escape? Could be cheaper, and more humane, and might even lead to a lower recidivism rate if other countries attempts are anything to go by.

Is there a living condition you can be forcibly held in that would not make you want to leave?
I am all for prison reform (I’m largely a prison abolitionist but I’ll take what wins I can get), but if you’re going to have prisons you’re going to need layered security.

That’s it. 2 things.
True. Health care and rehabilitation are optional in the US.

Unfortunately the only place I’ve been able to find that full uncut video is on the local nbc channel’s Facebook page, https://fb.watch/n2at4XZCf9/?mibextid=NnVzG8

Norway prisons seem pretty chill.
Theyre certainly a big-ass step in the right direction.
