Prison windows vs prisoners/contraband

[Midori Mayu]

I've checked around the wikis and various discussions, but I don't seem to find the relevant information to my question:

For both large and small windows,
can prisoners break it and escape through it?
Also, can prisoners smuggle contraband through windows?

I know and can see that light and heat do pass through windows, but I can't find any info regarding prisoners and contraband.

Prisoners cannot smuggle contraband through windows.

Prisoners can break windows, but they cannot escape through them even if they do.

I've attempted to do both in escape mode myself and windows are little more than just a decoration.

I theorize that maybe - just maybe - if you drop contraband right up against a wall it might glitch through a wall in a million to one freak accident, but I've never seen it happen despite my best efforts to do it deliberately.

As for AI prisoners, if they could escape or trade through windows, I would have seen them try at some point as they are very determined when it comes to contraband and escapes, so safe to assume they simply can't.

Ah, good to know then when adding in windows for them! Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but if somebody else is looking information on this, they indeed can escape through windows. I have had two legendary prisoners in two different prisons and they both escaped throw window, they broke it and went through it. I don't know if normal prisoners can do that though.
