The reason? Breakfast (Well, and overcrowding).
According to the BBC, at least 53 inmates broke out of Kutacane Penitentiary in Aceh, Indonesia, on March 10th by forcing open the main facility doors — and so far, 21 have been arrested or surrendered.
How did they manage it? Well, the prison was apparently incredibly overcrowded, housing 368 people instead of the 100 it was designed for. While this hasn’t posed *too* much of a problem, it became an issue when the inmates lined up for breakfast, as suddenly there was a whole lotta hubbub in one spot. Consequently, some people used the opportunity to let themselves out.
Here’s video of what that looked like:
