In all, 19 lags broke out following evening lock-up on Tuesday, causing a major disturbance.
Sources said they bust through weak cell plaster using chairs and lockers.
150 lags were being shifted out of B-wing at the Hampshire jail in 20 buses.
Police are investigating the breakout.
A source said: “The mass move is so officials can assess the state of the wing properly.
“It’s a very old prison and that brings its own issues.”
They added claims cons had burrowed out using cutlery were “nonsense”.
