The Lusignan Prison is currently overcrowded after hundreds of inmates were transferred there following the fire at the Camp Street jail.
Two weeks ago, 13 prisoners escaped from the compound of the same prison. Eleven has since been recaptured and one was shot dead during an armed confrontation.
Only one of the Lusignan escapees remain on the run, while three other prisoners who escaped from the Camp Street jail are still on the loose.
