Flood 50 toilets across any of the prisons. To do this you simply have to flood toilets by filling them with something and flushing it down. This achievement is cumulative across all prisons. They won’t always overflow but the best way is to just grab the sheets and pillows off the bed and flush them down after you search a cell or just have a free moment to pop in and give one a go. Eventually it will unlock.

It makes you wonder why you can't escape via the sewage system when you can usually flush full bed furnishings and concrete bricks without a problem!

It may have been a coincidence but I found that dirt would block the toilets more than anything else.

I wanted to share how I grinded this achievement since I found a relatively quick method that took me from around 50% to 100% in around 30 minutes (probably less than that).
I used the first prison Center Perks and loaded up the save game I had from when I initially escaped with all my stats very high. All I did was run around each cell and toss three items into the toilet. Since I didn't care about anything else, I was able to raid desks, beat up guards and prisoners, and ignore lockdown periods. I took items from unconscious people whenever I could (don't take the keys unless you've raided everything). I actually got sent to solitary twice, which actually helped because it reset the items in the desks and the beds! I made a rotation for all 10 cells, and by the time I would loop around, the toilets would be ready to flush again. I would only take the sheets and pillows once I had raided the desk entirely in a room to mark which desks were empty. Just keep moving from cell to cell after flushing and raiding (in that order). You'll get it in no time. I hope this helps!

Toilets can be found in all prisons throughout the game, and mainly within each individual cell. In order to flood a toilet you must flush between 1 and 3 items down it in an attempt to break it. You will need to press 
to interact with it and then choose up to any three items in your inventory in which you want to flush down the toilet. If you successful in flooding the toilet, you will see a large pool of water spread across the entire room in which the toilet is in. You can then retrieve the items in which you flushed down it by interacting with it again but it will take a few in-game days before the toilet has been fixed and can be flooded again.
Unfortunately there is no sure fire way to flood a toilet and it seems to be random as to which items will result in a toilet being flooded. I found the best combination is to pick up the blankets and pillows off the beds in the cells by pressing
on them and then flushing them down the toilet. Alternatively, you can search the desks in the cells and then just flush any random three items down the toilet and hope for the best. This trophy is cumulative across all prisons but there is no way to track how many toilets you have flooded so just keep flooding them until you reach 50 and the trophy unlocks. It takes approximately 2-3 days once a toilet has been blocked before it will return to normal.
