Cell Desks[ | ]

Due to the Cameras located in the cell rooms, guards will be alerted if you search a desk that is not your own. To combat this, you can either:

  • Wear a Guard Outfit or Infirmary Uniform: obtained by crafting or from looting an unconscious guard.
  • Move all the desks out of the sight of the camera (near the locker). Because the desks are out of sight from the camera, you can freely search with no heat level. Blocking the red door is no problem, the guards will still use them and climb over/through the desks.
  • Jam the camera by using a Roll of Duct Tape, which will consume the tape and temporarily disable the camera.
  • Switch off the generator, since it doesn't require any keys and anyone can access it.
  • Search them from the side when the cameras are facing away so they do not notice.

Congratulations, you are free!

  • If you forgot a component, there is no need to panic. Take the desk and put it under the vent and you can get out. Guards do not seem to patrol the room, so it should be safe so long as you do not lure a guard in.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Upon entering, during the cutscenes where the warden gives you the tour, he says that the 3rd floor is haunted. He may just be saying that because this is actually the way of the "Glide to Victory" escape.
  • This Prison is a reference to Prisoner of War Camps in WW2. Notably, the Glide to Victory escape is inspired by a real-life plan to escape Colditz Castle, a German camp, via a glider. Its name is a pun on Prisoner of War, which is commonly abbreviated as POW, thus forming the English onomatopoeia from which you can derive "kapow".
  • This prison may also be a nod to the 1963 film The Great Escape, based off of the real-life escape of the Stalag Luft III POW camp. The "Speed McQueen" escape in particular is a very likely reference to a scene in which character Captain Virgil Hilts jumps over a barbed-wire fence using a motorcycle. Furthermore, the escape gets its namesake from Steve McQueen, the actor who played Hilts in the film.
