It was the Portuguese socialist government back in 2017 that decided to demolish the prison's watch towers and replace it with CCTV, whilst assigning ONE human prison guard to monitor over 200 tiny live video footage screens. It was also a system judge that went against all technical feedback reports (that warned of the danger of a prison break) that decided to let them move to a less secure prison. We need Batman.

[@Xobik1]

An episode in which both the chain director, and the guards and the chains responsible for the chains should have already resigned. In Portugal, taxes are spent only on wages. Unions only want wage increases when faced with options between better working conditions or better salaries. All that is technological investment soon passes out of overdue due to lack of upgrade/maintenance and lack of people for maintenance. Portugal, and the rest of the public administration of the rest of the European Union countries, has to start investing in multi-categorizing some professional state careers.

The other, pub theft 2012, woke woman and man, separate rooms and threatened that he would smash his head in while holding a clamp/metal item. His accomplice had a knife. Intial sentence in 2014 for pub offense was 4 years, was increased, 8 years 4 months. Increased by 56 days as he escaped for 9 days and changed from open to closed prison. This Portugal incident was 2020. How long did he serve and how did he travel abroad when not long released, shouldn't be allowed as part of conviction.
