Dang that's horrible. I guess if you have that big of a force, you don't even have to target the prison, you can just threaten to burn down the town in exchange for prisoner release
This is a similar strategy to what France did after the Haitian revolution. They showed up with gun boats and threatened to level everything from afar unless Haiti agreed to pay 'reparations'.
