Some have argued that nuclear waste are our cursed weapons.
--- Quote ---You should not have come here.
This is not a place of honor. No great deed is commemorated here. Nothing of value is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive.
We considered ourselves a powerful culture. We harnessed the hidden fire, and used it for our own purposes.
Then we saw the fire could burn within living things, unnoticed until it destroyed them.
And we were afraid.
We built great tombs to hold the fire for one hundred thousand years, after which it would no longer kill.
If this place is opened, the fire will not be isolated from the world, and we will have failed to protect you.
Leave this place and never come back.

My fear would be that doing so might act sort of like breaking a magic circle, if there was even a chance such an action might open up a way for one of those prisoners to escape...

Yeah, I'm pretty much of the opinion to let the Well just be, and kind of forget it's even there. Try to forget that you can even let them free, or that they are even there. Some things are too dangerous to even think about.

Lets consider Hollywood as a collection of Cautionary Tales and ask, is it really ever a good idea to release a Prisoner to throw at a bigger enemy that you cannot handle yourself? Lets assume that none of the Well's inmates were Wrongly imprisoned or are now miraculously Reformed, and avoid those Tragic Protagonist tropes.

Well, there is Eddie Murphy's 48-hours.

That would fall into the aforementioned Reformed Convict Category.
