However, the cells in the regular blocks might still be affected by the area-of-effect of their jailbreak methods, potentially causing the cell doors to open automatically. If inmates from the regular blocks also attempt a mass escape at this time, things will become difficult to manage. Therefore, we must make the regular block inmates believe this is just a normal prison procedure... So, go back and inform the inmates that tomorrow, work will be suspended for facility renovations, but a fire drill will be conducted at some point."!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----/ms-cmark-node
