Optimal strategy is just have everyone agree to open the first box on the left.

First guy goes in, opens that box, sees number 57..  comes out and yells "57".  Prisoner 57 goes in and gets his number.  Next guy goes in, checks the first box left on his left, walks out and yells that number....

Continue until finished.
