Maybe, but it's also full of: some of the most depraved and evil criminals in Gotham, abusive guards, staff, and doctors, and depending on the storyline, possibly also demons, angry spirits, and a portal to hell.

it's kind of hilarious how the only prisoners to continuously escape arkham are the most depraved and evil criminals in gotham.

Arkham is less a prison and more a Supervillain factory. Insert villain, receive Supervillain. Insert Supervillain, receive Grimmer Darker Supervillain. ad infinitum.

eh, it's one of those tropes in the batman books that never quite sat right with me. bad dudes commit atrocities, and the only ones who get the short end of the stick are redshirts and civilians.
