The elevator in Klescher Prison is in the main prison hub , not inside the work mines themselves. From the hub, head to the area with the central consoles and route signs; the mine access and the elevator/exit area are nearby, and the mine routes branch off from that main center space.

Where to go

  • Go to the central prison area first.
  • Look for the route signs for the work mines.
  • If you’re already deep in the mines, follow the signs back toward Route 1 / the main hub and then look for the elevator or exit-side access point.

Useful detail

  • The prison guide notes that work mines do not lead to escape by themselves ; they’re for mining and working off time, while the true exit flow is handled from the main prison area and surrounding routes.
  • One workaround post for the prison elevator says to select “surface level” and move to the back left corner once you’re at the elevator if it’s behaving oddly.

Fast direction

  1. Leave the mine tunnel area.
  2. Return to the central prison hub.
  3. Find the elevator/exit access by the main consoles and route markers.
  4. If the elevator is bugged, try the surface level option and stand in the back left corner.

TL;DR: The elevator is in the main Klescher prison hub , near the central consoles and route signs, not down in the work mines.
