Miles is believed to have escaped by stuffing materials in a door lock to render it inoperable. That door apparenlty lead directly to an exercise yard where, once outside Miles, was able to push out the lower part of a fence to the perimeter passageway, where he continued to run and hop a 6 foot fence.
