led from the hole and placed in cells in "Cook's Row" where the kitchen workers were housed.
At about 6:20, the inmates led Powell back to Inside Administration to wait for Governor Aronson's call, which never came.
Myles and Smart became anxious and left, leaving Powell in the care of Walter Trotchie, who had orders to kill the warden with a
kitchen knife at 8:00 if the governor didn't call. 8:00 came and went, and, instead of killing Powell, Trotchie surrendered his
weapon and freed the warden, who offered amnesty to any prisoner who wanted to retreat to minimum security. Six inmates
agreed to go, including Trotchie, and Warden Powell escaped the prison, secured the inmates who had come with him, and began
managing the handling of the riot from outside .
Myles was angry when he discovered that Powell had escaped, but his rage was abated when he realized they had Walter
Jones as a hostage. Myles viewed Jones as one of the reasons he had been ousted as a con-boss. Jones managed to talk Myles out
of murdering him by offering himself as a negotiator for the demands of the inmates.
Meanwhile, Alton approached Myles with the argument that since Deputy Warden Rothe had been shot and killed, their escape plan was now null. Myles acknowledged that the original plan had failed, so he forwarded the idea of tunneling under the
walls. He chose a place in the northwestern tower of Cellblock 1 and put a team of inmates, eventually including the kitchen staff,
to work with picks and shovels. The progress on this tunnel would continue for the remainder of the riot, but was doomed to fail.
Warden Conley had built the cellblocks and the walls specifically to keep inmates from tunneling, and his designs proved effective.
Outside the walls, Warden Powell was busy trying to deal with budding public reaction to the riot. The word had leaked
quickly, and wives of guards who were hostages started showing up at his house. Powell decided to again enter the prison through
the tunnel system which gave access to the gun ports in the mess hall and the catwalks in the cellblocks. Luckily, the riot leaders
had been unable to secure a key to the access points to this tunnel system, or else Powell may have been taken hostage again. Just
after sundown, Powell made his way through the tunnels to the mess hall and shouted for Myles and Smart. Myles showed up,
leading Jones with a knife at his throat. Powell asked what Myles wanted, and received a verbal tirade from Myles, who stalked
away, leaving Jones with Alton. Powell was told that Myles wanted at least thirty members of the press to come inside the prison,
