A former prison warden and six other prison staff have been arrested in connection with a prison break that left one guard dead in north China last month.
Former warden Zhang Heping was arrested on charges of dereliction of duty.
Another six officials and guards had been arrested and released on bail in connection with the escape of four inmates last month.
The four inmates, two facing suspended death sentences and two serving life terms, triggered a three-day manhunt involving 12,300 police officers after their escape. Three of them were captured and one was shot dead.
