If you look at the video, it only took him a handful of seconds to climb the wall, if you look away for 2 minutes that could be plenty of time for someone to escape if they time it right.
It seem like what’s really needed is a small roof/awning build over that area so you can’t just climb straight up to the roof.
To my understanding, the video footage only shows the start. He gets about one story up in a few seconds. My understanding is that it is at least two or three stories before the “razor wire”. If only because, if it was only as high as we can see on the video: People could get up with a running jump.
So as long as you look over as part of patrols/surveillance, you are going to see someone approaching a known problem point or in the act of climbing itself.
The first time I saw the video, you could see him through the window on the door landing on the other side less than a minute later. For some reason every version of the clip I’ve seen posted since then cuts off earlier. I don’t know what the layout of the prison is, but I don’t think he spent much time at all running around in the open on the roof and once he was on the other side of that wall I suspect he was somewhere they don’t expect prisons to be at that time so watching it was probably a bit of an afterthought.

Unfortunately the only place I’ve been able to find that full uncut video is on the local nbc channel’s Facebook page, https://fb.watch/n2at4XZCf9/?mibextid=NnVzG8
