Here's how to escape this prison and get 2 random achievements on your way for (100 % completion) in about 20 minutes.
Items Needed for this Escape:
Blue Putty (Unique Item)
Sticky Tape (Unique Item)
Dirty Glass (Unique Item)
Henchman Memoir Tape
Tape Player (Unique Item)
Talcum Powder
Key Card (Unique Item)
Guard Uniform
Recommend ALSO:
X 1 Metal Plates
X 3 Timber
X 4 Duct Tapes
X 1 File
X 1 CrowBar
X 1 Favorite Weapon (I recommend the nunchuks [2 Timber + Wire]
For starters, do what you do every prison the first couple days. Devote ALL non-roll call time to MAX your stats in Speed, Strength, & Intelligence.
Now that you've got your stats MAX it is time to hunt for the recommended items listed above as well as the required Talcum Powder. All other items in this prison are useless & a waste of time. Find the items by looting desks of fellow inmates and quickly placing in your desk before you get busted.
There are around a dozen inmates so the risk of being searched at roll calls is low but if you do get searched and busted it is usually faster to load the previous day than try to track down the items again.
Make armor "Plated Inmate Clothes" = Metal Plate + Duct Tape + Inmate Clothes
Make weapon of choice
Make sturdy pickaxe:
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that I may have confused Shovel with Pickaxe when I was typing my walkthrough up.
Tool Handle = File + Timber
Flimsy Pickaxe = Tool Handle + Crowbar + Duct Tape
Lightweight Pickaxe = Flimsy Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape
Sturdy Pickaxe = Lightweight Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape
*Crowbars are a relatively uncommon - rare item that can be bought from inmates, found on guards, or rarely in loot/desks; especially ? mark box loots
*credit Rainleaf* for correction of shovel to pickaxe
"Sturdy Shovel" = "Lightweight Shovel" + Duct Tape + Metal Plate
"Lightweight Shovel" = "Flimsy Shovel" + Duct Tape + Metal Plate
"Flimsy Shovel" = "Tool Handle" + Duct Tape + Metal Plate
"Tool Handle" = Timber + File
Ok, now you've got the bulk of the level "prep" done. Get a end of night sleep / save in case you mess the next part up or don't do it quick enough and can re-try.
Figure out which guards have the keys we'll need: Green, Cyan (Light Blue) & Red. Once you've found these guards, remember their names in case you need to retry.
THe rest should take around 5 minutes.
There are 5 "Question Mark" (?) boxes scattered around the prison. Each of these boxes has one of your "Unique" items listed above.

This is basically the fastest way to escape and I feel it is incredibly detailed. If you want to vote negative let me know your issue...

Just a correction = You need a Pickaxe (or 5 plastic forks)to break the wall not a Shovel
Tool Handle = File + Timber
Flimsy Pickaxe = Tool Handle + Crowbar + Duct Tape
Lightweight Pickaxe = Flimsy Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape
Sturdy Pickaxe = Lightweight Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape
Tool Handle = File + Timber
Flimsy Pickaxe = Tool Handle + Crowbar + Duct Tape
Lightweight Pickaxe = Flimsy Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape
Sturdy Pickaxe = Lightweight Pickaxe + Timber + Duct Tape

In order to escape the level you will need to craft the Voice Recorder, Keycard and Fake Fingerprints and then interact with the respective control panels around the rocket in the middle of the level. Doing this will also unlock the three trophies relating to activating the three control panels. It doesn't matter what order you make the below items or when you interact with the control panels, so feel free to make them in any order you wish.
Voice Recorder
In order to craft the voice recorder you will need the following items:
Voice Recorder
In order to craft the voice recorder you will need the following items:
- Memoir Tape = Randomly found on guards
- Tape Player = Found in the '?' box in the guard area behind the Red locked doors
- Voice Recorder = Memoir Tape + Tape Player
You will first want to have a high strength stat which you should have already if you have been hitting the gym as advised in Step 1 of the walkthrough. Once you have a decent weapon just start beating up guards until you find the Memoir Tape within their inventory. Once you find it, steal it and depending on your guard heat you will need to run back to your cell and put in your desk or toilet before the guards eventually beat you up.
In order to get the Tape Player you will need to access the area to the north behind the doors locked with the red key. As such, your first objective is to craft the Melted Plastic and the Putty (see On Top of the World for the crafting recipe). Once these are made you will need to beat up guards in search of the red key, once you find it quickly make a copy by combining it with the putty. Don’t forget to put the key straight back in the guard's inventory to avoid being sent to solitary confinement. Combine the Red Key Mold with the Melted Plastic to make the Red Key Copy. Now enter the room behind the red locked doors and search the box with '?' on it to find the Tape Recorder (see below image for location).
Now you need to combine the Memoir Tape with the Tape Player to make the Voice Recorder. Once that is made go to the control panel in the middle of the level next to the rocket. Activating the panel will unlock the The Voice Of Reason trophy, and you will have completed the first of three steps of your escape.
Keycard
Unlike the other two items required for your escape, the Keycard does not need to be crafted, it is a single item. First you will need a guard uniform. You should already have one in your inventory from previous trophies. However, if you don’t you can either buy some off an inmate or simply beat up a guard and take them off him. Once you have a guard uniform, equip them and go into the guard barracks on the right hand side of the rocket. Here you will find another '?' marked bx. Search it to find the Keycard and then interact with the control panel at the rocket to complete the second step of your escape and unlock the The Key to Success trophy.
The below image shows the location of the ‘?’ box in the guard barracks area that has the Keycard.
Fake Fingerprints
In order to craft the Fake Fingerprints you will need the following items:
- Weak Fingerprints = Talcum Powder + Dirty Glass + Sticky Tape
- Fake Fingerprints = Weak Fingerprints + Blue Putty
Of the three items required for the escape, crafting the Fake Fingerprints are by the far the most time consuming. Firstly, you will want to acquire the Woodworking job in order to gain access to that area of the level as there is a '?' box which you need to search to get the Sticky Tape item. In order to get this job you need to get the current inmate who has the job fire. To do this, go to the job board below the roll call area and see who currently has the job. Now, when it is time to do the job (10:00 am each day) beat up the inmate and ensure he never makes it to the woodworking job. Once the allocated time for performing the job has been completed, go back to the job board and choose the Woodworking job.
Once you have the Woodworking job go inside that area, which is to the left of the roll call area and search the '?' box to obtain the Sticky Tape. For now, hide the sticky tape within your desk or toilet in your cell. The below image shows the location of the '?' box inside the woodworking area.
The next item needed is the Dirty Glass which is located in a small room at the back of the villain’s office. In order to get there you will need a Sturdy Pickaxe which can be crafted by combining 3 x wood, 1 x file, 3 x duct tape and 1 x crowbar. You will also need a poster (Magazine + Duct Tape) to put over the hole you make in the wall. As suggested earlier, is is best to obtain this item when you go for the On Top of the World trophy as it will limit the number of Blue Key Copies you need to make. In order to gain access to the Villain’s area please refer to the On Top of the World trophy. Once inside, you will see the '?' desk behind a wall at the top part of the room, dig through and then search the box to obtain the Dirty Glass. Be sure to put a Poster over the hole you made otherwise the guards will be alerted. For now, store the Dirty Glass in your desk or toilet.
The final item required is the Blue Putty which is located in a '?' box within the Metal working job area. You will now need to obtain the metal working job by the same means in which you obtained the woodworking job. Once this job has been acquired enter the metal working job area which is to the right of the roll call area and search the '?' box for the Blue Putty. The following image shows the location of the box within the metal working job area.
Once you have all the items, it is now time to craft the Fake Fingerprints as per the crafting recipe listed above. Once they have been made, interact with the control panel next to the rocket and you will unlock the Finger Of Blame trophy. You will also unlock the Spy Hard trophy and successfully escape the prison if this is the last of the three required items of your escape.
