The holes that had originally been made for ventilation had been widened by the gang, and they gained access to a utility corridor that was not guarded.
The men climbed up onto the roof of their cell block from this corridor, allowing them to set up a workshop inside the building.

They sealed the edges of the raft using steam pipes and made paddles from scrap.
