I do wonder if that’s ever actually a legitimate concern for prison staffers, if they get an inmate that is exceptionally agile like this. Like, if a parkour champ gets locked up, do the guards take any additional precautions? Do they grease up all the walls and fences to make them extra hard to climb?
These, and other equally important questions, are what keep me up at night.
In Pennsylvania this last year a murderer escaped from prison by pressing himself again two opposite walls and climbing up. So I guess the answer is, no they don’t take additional precautions.
They probably hope all of the other security measures will make up for that one. I can’t really think of another option. Even prisoners in solitary are let out for an hour a day.

Damn, must’ve sucked to get arrested for being murdered. No wonder he wanted to break out!

Pascal Payet escaped prison by being picked up by a helicopter.
3 times.
I’m guessing by being picked up by a helicopter and by paying off every single guard in the prison.
Someone should really do something about all those rescue helicopters swarming around prisons like mosquitoes.
A real parkour champ couldn’t be caught in the first place. Check mate.
Maybe the guards just administer some additional unprovoked beatings to the inmate to ensure they aren’t in a physical state to parkour over the wall
