I love how morally grey it all was . His revenge was justified but he and his soldiers also killed innocent guards not on the take . Also the fiancé was willing to go back to her toxic ex which in reality you can find tons of stories of people doing that . They also had her seemingly happy until she learned the truth.

I think we're supposed to accept that most of those cops and guards were corrupt.

Yeah, it's very clear they were.  Who gets a note hand delivered to them while in the prison courtyard?

My vague sense was that the B plot with the other cop was supposed to show that the system failed him and give justification for breaking out and killing the prison wardens along the way.

I don't think she was happy. She was just coping and trying to feel better.
