How to escape Shankton State Pen

[Mnooper]

I'm gonna help the people halfway through the game by giving a tutorial for shankton state pen,
for me it is actually one of the easiest prisons.

1. Before starting the game, name the fourth guard something notable, eg. officer Red, THISONE or officer BBBBBBBBB. any different name will do, as you will need to single him out later.
   
2. First thing every morning go to rollcall and see whos getting their cell searched, then leave and search the cells. You will need to find:
   
   • Toothpaste
     
   • Talcum Powder
     
   • 2xLighter
     
   • Comb
     
   • Cup
     
   • Chocolate
     
   • Timber
     
   • File
     
   • 3xDuct Tape
     
   • 3xSheet of Metal
     
   • Bed Sheet
     
   • 2xPillow
   Hide them all in a desk at the bottom-right of the prison, as these will never get searched.
   
3. Once you find them all, craft the following:
   
   • Toothpaste+Talcum Powder -> Putty
     
   • Lighter+Comb -> Molten Plastic
     
   • Bed Sheet +2xPillow -> Bed dummy
     
   • Timber +File -> Tool Handle
4. Spend all of your free time raising your intellect, until it is over 90. Then, another boring Crafting list awaits:
   
   • Lighter+Cup+Chocolate -> Cup of Molten Chocolate
     
   • Tool Handle+Duct Tape+Sheet of metal -> Flimsy shovel
     
   • Flimsy Shovel+Duct Tape+Sheet of metal -> Lightweight Shovel
     
   • Lightweight //+//+// -> Sturdy Shovel
5. Now Find and Follow Officer (insert ridiculous officer name here) With your putty and molten chocolate until you are out of sight of guards and cameras.
   
6. Use the Molten Chocolate on him and take the red key.
   
7. Combine with Putty and return the key to him.
   
8. Take his outfit, and if you want the Baton
   
9. Run back to an Unoccupied Cell and hide the stuff, and wait for him to wake up and knock you out (make sure he does this, otherwise he will attack you again)
   
10. Combine the molten plastic and the putty to make a fake key.
    
11. At evening Rollcall, Run out early and put your bed dummy in your bed
    
12. Go into the job board area, and change into The guard outfit.
    
13. At the top right of the prison there should be 2 red doors. go through them
    
14. Use your shovel to dig anywhere by the wall other than adjacent to the doors or the fence
    
15. Drop your dirt near your hole. do this for every block you dig.
    
16. Dig three tiles right before digging up
    
17. You're free!

Well that was easy!
tell me if there is any flaws or if it worked or you utterly failed.

Really all I needed to do was dig a hole 20 spaces right from the top right space of my cell, then dig up. All I needed was some stuff for digging, stuff for chipping, bedsheets, braces and a guard outfit.
