How to hide stuff

[TheBaconNinja]

I'm relatively new to the game and still experimenting. Is there anywhere I can put contraband so that it won't be taken away if I am caught?

Your best bet is to start diggin' underground and place that item there, if not just carry it as a weapon or put it in your chest.

Or hide it in the vents above your cell. There's a ton of space there

I meant caught trying to escape.

The only 'safe' desk in the game is the one on the far bottem right of the cellblock, as it's unoccupied and never searched. You can store any contraband you want in that desk and it will never be found. You can also dig a hole in that cell, or in your cell and dig out a passage underground to store stuff.

To dig in a cell without getting caught, put sheets over the bars to keep the guards from seeing inside.

Oh, if you're caught trying to escape, they take everything. There's no way around that. You can however, reload from your last save if you're caught and try again if you don't want to lose all your stuff.

can you hide items in the storagish area behind cells (the gridded area) without it being confiscated?

In Stalag Flucht you can hide contrabands on your buddy's desk, but when he's going to get his cell searched, take it out. But also, you can craft a Durable Contraband Pouch [theescapists.gamepedia.com] to keep the contrabands in your inventory and you can get past to the Employee Room.

In CenterPerks, you can use a Plastic Fork to dig and then you hide your contrabands on the utility room above your desk that is the "gridded area". You can craft a Poster with a Duct Tape and a Magazine then cover it!
