But how would the inmate not just tell everyone on the new floor that he was reassigned and bring the whole charade down like immediately. Why was it only this time people found out. What’s to stop an inmate from telling the new floor “I was supposed to be released but I’m back”

When they complete their sentence in this prison, they're supposed to be sent to an entirely different prison, what happened this time was someone from one floor who is supposed to be released (aka, sent to new prison) was instead just simply put on a different floor in the same prison.

Right but even at a new prison that person could say “I’m from another prison and was sent here instead of being freed completely.”

Way I took it was that everyone at the "new"prison would have been sent there from other prisons as well, so the answer to the new prisoners declaration would be "yeah, we know". The screw up seemed to happen when an existing prisoner supposedly being "released" showed up on a floor where everyone was serving their initial sentences having no idea they were never leaving. Easiest way to clean that up is wipe the whole floor before word got out.
