You don't quite have that right.

The VOPOs shot people trying to cross the Berlin wall regardless of direction.

It was just that much fewer went East vs West. So many more East Europeans died at the Berlin Wall.

VOPO = East German Volkspolizei. They were the primary wall security force.

And E Berlin was not a jail. East Berliners were free to travel all over East Germany.
