-#* Behind the poster in the opposite cell of Todor's is an escape tunnel. At the end of this tunnel is a rock, which you can destroy with [[TNT Charge]] or a [[Jackhammer]] to open it up. It will lead to the area north of the eastern tracks of Foundry. Be aware that destroying the rock will put the prison under lockdown, meaning that the guards will be hostile to you and if you go around and enter the prison through the main entrance they will say that you are not allowed any longer in the prison due to ongoing investigations.

 == Walkthrough ==
 You will find Everard in the northwest part of Foundry, on top of one of the towers. Head there and get the mission details from him.
-The entrance to [[Foundry Prison]] is at the south end of southwest part of Foundry, right outside [[West]]'s electronics shop. You can try persuading the prison warden, [[Delma]], to let you meet with Todor, break into the west storeroom and enter the jail area via ventilation shafts, or sneak into the jail area through the visiting room to talk with him. Note that if the cameras see you at all, you will leave evidence that can be removed with hacking skill at the console in the security room. Leaving any cell doors open will also cause a lockdown in the prison.

-There are some ways of handling this. You can:
+# Convince [[Chief|Chief Banner]] that Todor is innocent. You will need to:
+#* Talk to Todor about the circumstances. There are a variety of methods by which to meet with Todor without angering the Foundry guards.
-# Present (fake) evidence to [[Chief|Chief Banner]] proving Todor's innocence. You will need to:
+##* '''Sneaking in.''' With 35 effective [[lockpicking]] skill, you can gain access to the Storeroom. This room contains a ventilation system which will lead directly to the entrance to Todor’s cell, allowing the player to speak with him. If the player does not have sufficient lockpicking skills, you can [[pickpocketing|pickpocket]] the [[Storeroom key (Foundry)|Storeroom key]] from the [[Supervisor (Foundry)|Supervisor]]. However, the Supervisor is located in the controlled surveillance room that if you enter without permission, will anger the guards. If Chief Banner trusts you, you can persuade Delma (65 effective skill required) to give you access to this room temporarily, during which you can pickpocket the key. Alternatively, setting off a loud noise (such as a grenade) will cause the Supervisor to temporarily leave the surveillance room, allowing you to pickpocket him without having the necessary persuasion skill if you are quick.
-#* Talk to Todor about the circumstances, either by sneaking into the cells or persuading Delma (55 effective skill required, can be bypassed by finishing the [[Kill the Beast]] quest or by pretending you are Todor's wife - (female characters only) to let you meet him. As of version [[1.0.2.2]], once Chief Banner trusts you, an option for persuading Delma (65 effective skill required) to give you access to the surveillance room becomes available, making it easier to use the security console or pickpocket the [[Storeroom key (Foundry)|Storeroom key]] and [[Visiting Room key (Foundry)|Visiting Room key]] from the Supervisor.
+##*'''Arrange a visit.''' You can convince Delma to let you meet with Todor in the visitor area by either passing a persuasion check (55 effective skill required), pretending to be Todor’s wife (female characters only) or by completing the [[Kill the Beast]] quest.
 #* Find [[Abandoned Sniper Rifle (Foundry)|his sniper rifle]] on the rooftops in the same area as the prison just north of West's Shop.
-#* Convince Chief that he has no solid evidence against Todor. He will refuse to deal with the case unless he trusts you, which can be achieved by finishing the quests [[Foundry murders]] or [[Kill Balor]].
