the prison they were in lacked security.

Doubt it. Especially not a maximum security.

I have a friend that is a prison nurse & yeah some are kinda like military barracks (especially boot camp)...... You have lights out, chow time, a regimented PT & work schedule & crappy sleeping quarters ...... Not to mention survival of the fittest

Now don't get me wrong I have 3 cousins in Airforce, Marine now Boarder Patrol & Army now Secret Service bomb squad
So I have a huge respect for anyone that comes out of this alive!!!

But many medium & a few maximum (due to overcrowding) allow the inmates to roam in restricted areas ..... The main problem is the abuse and molestation much less the exploitation of these people!
