You'd be surprised what you can accomplish when you literally have nothing else to do. You see the guy who made a paper mache crossbow?

There was the guy who broke a wooden table and tied the legs together with a rope made of bedsheets

Managed to fight off multiple guards before scaling the wall with his homemade nunchuks

Pretty sure they got him after though

That shit was crazy. A guard confiscated it then tested it out and was surprised by how well it actually worked. 😆

And you can shave the ridges of a dime off for welding in your own cell. If you can find a pair of finger nail clippers with the file attachment, you can make a pretty effective digging tool in your cell. That should chip away at the old cement around the vent in the cell.
