| Mass breakout from Zliten prison |
| 2014-02-16 |
| [Libya Herald] Some 90 inmates are on the run after escaping from Mager Prison in southern Zliten. The authorities are now trying to round up the convicts, a local resident told the Libya Herald. He said many people in the area suspected prison guards of colluding in the mass breakout. This is the latest in a growing list of jailbreaks over the last 12 months, which have seen at least 1,700 prisoners let loose with a low rate of recapture. Just over two weeks ago, 55 prisoners beat feet from the Bawabat Al-Jibs prison in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , when they managed to overpower prison guards. There were two jailbreaks in Ajdabiya and four in Sebha last year and, in July, 1,200 inmates beat feet from Benghazi's Kuwaifiya Prison during a riot. |

| #1 should be a rule - if you escape from prison, you don't get to go back when caught. You get dead. On the spot |
