Historically, the Egyptian prison cell has been the incubator for monumental accomplishments, such as the formation of Al Qaeda and the current presidency of Egypt. It has provided the necessary network, doctrine and framework to spawn greater goals. Perfect plans have been hatched and prepared in Egypt’s prison block, allowing bad actors like Muhammad Morsi to plot their next move. Within a few days of Hosni Mubarak’s confinement of Morsi to the Two Sahrawi branch of the Wadi el Natruon Penitentiary during Egypt’s January 2011 uprising, Morsi broke out. He was a pawn in the execution of the Muslim Brotherhood’s long awaited scheme to take over Egypt.
