Escaping is the act of escaping the Prison in Jailbreak. It is a crucial part of gameplay in Jailbreak for Prisoners as they can then become Criminals and rob stores and start heists.
Overview
There are several ways to escape the Prison in Jailbreak. All of these methods allow Prisoners to escape the Prison and become Criminals.
Escape Methods
Method | Description |
---|---|
Go to Rusty and bring him a donut. You have a chance to get a C4 from him. Use the C4 on a weak wall in the Prison yard. There is also a glitch where you can also place 2 C4 on the ground to launch yourself over the wall. | |
You can walk through the sewers located at the Prison Yard and near the Crew board to escape. Beware as the sewage water underneath is a death zone. Visit the page for more information and images. | |
Found on the Prison Gun Shop wall, you can punch the box to open the gate that leads to a parkour escape out of the Prison to the parking lot. | |
Wait until the Visitors Building door opens, which occurs between the following times: 6:30am - 11:00am, 3:00 PM and 11:15PM. When it is open you can enter the vent system which leads you inside the Prison Police Station. | |
Walk up behind a police officer lurking around the Prison and hold E to pickpocket. You have a chance on grabbing a Keycard from them, to where you have access to key-locked doors. This is a good idea if you see a AFK police officer in the police station after using the visitors building. | |
You can get a player with a Keycard to open doors for you or have them bring a vehicle to help you escape. | |
You can go on the police team, drive a flying vehicle into the Prison yard and lock it then switch teams to prisoner and use it to escape. |

A somewhat lengthy escape and will attract attention, but an easy one. This method starts at the Power Box mounted on the side of the Police Station wall. Players will have to punch the box exactly 10 times for the gate near the box to temporarily open up. From there, they must lift the gate on the other side of the Lunch area, crawl under it, and escape through the Prison Parking Lot. Players can also find a friend or an alt and jump on the Power Box. However, jumping on the Power Box was patched in an unknown update by removing collision on the Power Box. | |
Getting a Keycard may be difficult to obtain, but with a friend, an alt, an AFK Police officer, or bribing, it can be quite easy. Pickpocketing a random officer is also an option, but be careful; the Police officer may chase after you to arrest you. Once you have a Keycard, you gain access to all rooms in the Prison, such as Prison Police Station, the Security Office, the Watchtowers, and every other door which only Police can go through. Additionally, you can access the Storage Room in the Cafeteria, or escape through the vent near the Security Office. | |
If a player has access to an aerial vehicle, they can fly into the Prison grounds. Therefore, you can enter as a passenger, or pilot the helicopter outside of the Prison yourself, resulting in an escape. Also, if you're a Criminal, you can steal the Helicopter without a Keycard at the Rising City Police Station, making it much easier to escape if a friend is in your server, or if you need a helicopter but don't own the Little Bird or Black Hawk. | |
After escaping into the Prison parking lot, there was a ramp. Use any vehicle, other than the Patrol, Dirt Bike, and Dune Buggy to use rocket fuel and ramp out of the parking lot for a quick and efficient escape. | |
The main entrance is right beside the Prison Police Station and the Prison Garage, and can also be used as an exit. There are 2 exits, accessible via black ladders. You can also enter the sewers via 2 of the exits. The first ladder is an entrance to the Prison Parking Lot right in front of the gate control room. The final exit is found by continuing past the first exit and going straight the entire way. Once you reach the end, the ladder is on the right. This exit leads you to the tunnel across from the Camaro. | |
The most simple method. To escape using this, players must go to the wall marked with an X to the right of the Prison Garage and hold the E prompt until the wall explodes. They can then walk through the rubble and escape Prison. This does have a downside, being that cars do not spawn in this area, so players must either run to the Camaro in front of the Prison, or get far away from the Prison enough to spawn a car. This escape is recommended because Police officers rarely camp this area, allowing you to sneak away from under their noses. However, do check the Minimap for Police officers following you or camping behind the wall before you attempt this escape route, because you can never be too sure. | |
A very reliable way to escape, especially if you plan from switching from the Police team to the Prisoner team. Players would have to place a vehicle inside or directly outside the Prison when on the Police team, switch teams, and use that to escape. Vehicles that could do this most effectively are the Blackhawk, Helicopter, Little Bird, Firetruck, Monster Truck and the Volt. The land vehicles are either used to allow you to climb onto buildings or to utilize the trampoline to propel you out of the Prison. Always lock your vehicle, and if possible, put them in less popular areas of the Prison, or you risk having the vehicle stolen/towed away by helicopters. | |
A simple, but slow and unreliable way of escaping the Prison. To do this, jump up on the trampoline and crouch, and then spam crouch once in the air to ragdoll yourself even further. If you are going off-course from the Trampoline, stand up again and direct yourself back onto the Trampoline. If done correctly, you will be flung out of the Prison grounds. In the best-case scenario, the players can escape quickly and land outside the Prison, on top of a building, or the Prison Parking Lot. In the worst-case scenario, players may fail to fly out and land somewhere in the Prison while far away, get flung out of the map, or get stuck in a place where a Keycard is required to get out. However, this method of escaping has removed at 5 Year Anniversary Live Update. | |
A sneaky way to escape the Prison, but requires a Keycard. Players need to obtain a Keycard and go to the vent entrance near the Security Office and near the stairs going from the lower floor to the upper floor. Climb to the top, where a corridor will be. Find the exit passageway and jump out. Once out, you can jump onto the tops of other buildings nearby to escape. This is one of the most rarest escapes used due to it being quite hidden. |

Trivia
Current
- The current wall escape is the first escape where you need a item.
- The parkour section in the new sewer escape is rather similar to the pit in the Power Plant as well as the warehouse in the Crime Port.
- The new electric box shocking players and dealing damage was a feature suggested on Twitter. It also cannot be jumped over like the old one before a patch.
Outdated
- The Original wall escape was changed to blowing up a fence into the parking lot in the 1 Year Update.
- However, it was changed back in the Sewer Escape Update due to complaints about camping Police officers in the parking lot. Also, Police officers complained that it was too easy for Prisoners to escape.
- Before Jailbreak's official release, the fence would already be lifted. This was later changed so you have to manually lift it by pressing and holding "E" (press and hold on mobile, press and hold "Y" on console), presumably to make it harder to escape using this method.
- After the Town Revamp Update, the collisions on the umbrellas were removed, making it less easy to escape when using the Power Box.
