The source said a 7.8 magnitude earthquake followed by dozens of aftershocks caused damage to the prison, with cracks in the walls and doors.
At least 1,444 people died in Syria on Monday after a devastating earthquake hit southwestern Turkey, according to government and rescue officials.
At least 733 people have died and more than 2,100 have been injured in rebel-held areas in the northwest, according to a White Helmets rescue team.
The situation in prisons
The incident in Rajo followed the December attack by ISIS on a security complex in Raqqa, where they managed to free several jihadists from a prison there.
During the assault, six Kurdish security forces that control the area were killed.
The conflict in Syria began in 2011 after a violent crackdown on peaceful protests and escalated with the involvement of foreign powers and international jihadists.
Nearly half a million people have been killed and the conflict has forced almost half of the country’s population to flee their homes, many of whom have taken refuge in Turkey.
