Time To Dig
The team needed to work together to craft tools they can use to dig out of the cells and unscrew the bolts on the vents. They made wrenches and picks from items like cafeteria spoons and workshop wood. Every single day, they worked from 5:30 PM until 9 PM. They chipped away at their cells to make holes that they could fit through! They also removed the vents in the prison cells and made the holes bigger.

Terrible Foundations
They got lucky because the prison was in such bad shape during their time there. The walls were weak and crumbly. The saltwater running through the pipes had been deteriorating over time and leaking into the walls. The salt eventually wore down the cement! The authorities at the prison kept the water warm to prevent giving the prisoners immunity to the cold temperatures of the icy San Francisco Bay.
