There is a manhunt for dozens of prisoners who have conducted a prison break – who see 50 of them burst through safety doors and take off on foot.
The mass -outbreak unfolded on Monday in the Penitentiary of Kutacane in southeastern Aceh Regency, Aceh, in Indonesia.
Dramatic images from outside prison showed dozens of prisoners who jumped over fences to run to a main road connected to the prison.
Another shot showed several prisoners who ran awkwardly over the roof, with tiles that moved under their feet while trying to run awkwardly over the prison.
Outside the prison, citizens who tried to prevent them from escaping, with some approaches and grabbing the fleeing prisoners. Some were seen who were caught by prison protectors and brought back.
From Wednesday, 32 in general will remain, while 21 have surrendered or captured themselves.
'We are still actively looking for the remaining fugitives and urge them to surrender to them. It is better to hand in yourself than to be confronted with stricter sentences, “Atjeh Tenggara police chief Doni Sumarsono told local media.
Allegedly the escape happened on Monday when all prisoners were in the canteen queue for food.

According to Kutacan Penitentiary, dozens of prisoners escaped Andi Hasyim by breaking two safety doors in the facility.
The incident is linked to overcrowding. Civil servants say that the prison can accommodate 100 people, but according to the local media it is currently around 368.
Overpopulation of the prison is a major problem around the world.
Last year an audit found a series of security errors at HMP Wandworth in southwestern London.
The Independent Monitoring Board of the prison said that a security evaluation '81 failure points' identified and led to the fact that 'long -awaited' upgrades were made to CCTV cameras that had not worked for more than a year.
The annual report of the IMB before 2023-24 concluded that the category B Victorian prison was 'not safe', with nearly 1,000 attacks registered between prisoners or staff – while the living conditions have been destructive.
The board found it 'alarmingly easy' for prisoners to get smuggling where to find cell investigations to find telephones, drugs, improvised weapons and alcohol – while the scent of cannabis was omnipresent.
The shortage of experienced staff – with almost half who had been in their work for less than a year – “undermined attempts to make prison effective” and the absence of the staff often reached 50 percent, said it.
