However, in a prison, any place needed to be guarded 20 hours a day.
The prison guards worked three shifts.
They were not allowed to doze off when they were at work.
Therefore, when Jon was preparing to escape, he could not take advantage of the time when the prison guards were dozing off.
However, when Jon arrived, he noticed that the guards in the guard room were reading the newspaper.
Obviously, guarding the confinement room was a relatively easy job.
They didn't need to be tense all the time.
And now, they were still on the day shift.
When they were on the night shift, they might be even more relaxed.
Jon was locked Room 10, which was about 20 meters away from the guard room.
Hence, no matter how careful Jon was, it's impossible to get to the guard room without being seen by the guards.
After all, the gate to the guardhouse is facing the confinement room.
