Almost interesting Trivia: The original plot of the story was supposed to take place in a US prison. Hogan's Hoard was a group of criminals operating against the bumbling prison guards.

For obvious reasons, this plot did not fly well with the networks so the writers had to come up with a plot where the prisoners can be the good guys and the guards can be the bad comic foils.

Hence the POW plot.
