This Afghanistan prison could actually be used twice on this list because it has been the scene of two major breakouts. In 2008, the Taliban launched a not-so-subtle break out which involved the use of suicide bombers and armed men to blast their way into the prison. This raid freed around 1000 prisoners including over 300 Taliban members. In 2011, not resting on their laurels, the Taliban dug a 350 meter tunnel into the prison from the outside, breaking through the floor in one of the cell blocks. For four hours inmates escaped through the tunnel before it was detected by guards. In the end, another 500 prisoners had escaped to add to the nearly 1000 freed three years earlier.
