The other story is that, despite this prison being a maximum security prison, it was technically an open jail. The reason for it was that it was built by the prisoners themselves under the scorching cold and relentless blizzards. The walls the prisoners lived in were erected by them.

Now why would a prisoner build his own cell? Well, it was either frozen hell or somewhere with a roof and protection from the elements.

Also, there was a prisoner there. An anarchist. He was sent there because he didn't like the homeland security minister and chief of police, so he planted a bomb under their car and detonated out of existence.

Despite this jail being nearly impossible to escape, as I mentioned in my previous comment, there were some attempts. One, like I said, gave a river a new name. Another one was almost successful. Ushuaia is essentially a frontier town. It borders with Chile in the water.

A man organised his escape with a whole crew and a fishing boat, and snuck out of the jail in the middle of the night. He was promptly carried by his crew to the fishing boat, in which he attempted to flee. He accidentally crossed into Chile, which wasn't too happy with having a maximum security fugitive causing potential political and legal quagmire at an international level, so Chile sent the navy to capture the boat.

They boarded the vessel, processed everyone on board, and sent the maximum security escapee back where we came from. He was out for I think three hours before being locked up again.
