That's easy enough. Kill all the prisoners. Dead prisoners can't escape. Barring that, it's not as easy as you make it sound.
According to your President, no-one has ever escaped from a supermax prison.
Yet!

MMI, I know that you are sincere in your beliefs, and I respect you for that. And you are right in that many governments all around the world have eliminated the death penalty. Assuming that this is the will of the people, I can accept that. Many US states have also eliminated the death penalty, because the people of those states decided to do so. That does not, however, make those people any more civilized than those who have not so decided.

I am equally sincere in my beliefs. Some people need to be executed. They are too evil to be allowed to remain alive. And, in my opinion, keeping them alive, feeding them three healthy meals a day, providing them a dry place to sleep, giving them free medical care, etc., is not only a waste of tax dollars, it is an insult to the victims, families, and citizens.
