Madagascar prisons
Over 120 escape jail in Madagascar
The prisoners broke out of jail in northeast Madagascar in December 2017 after a lynch mob stormed the prison in search of a murder suspect to kill him. The mob, numbering 800 conquered the guards and allowed 120 prisoners to break free after they realized that the one they were looking for had already been moved to another facility. Five prison officers who were taken hostage by the mob were later released.
