How to Break out of jail in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

In-game tutorial prompt for escaping through loose rubble.

Steal too many sweet rolls in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Or did you *gasp!* kill a lowly beggar? No worry, because today we'll show you how to break out of jail!

Person of YouTube AshleyJones96 has a neat little tutorial of how to break out of jail from Solitude, the capital of Skyrim. As it turns out, there's a bit in the wall that's on the verge of collapse. A slight push will knock the wall down, allowing you to run away to safety. Just know that if you want your stuff back, you'll have to go back into the dungeon and steal it back. And as far as I know, the dungeon in Solitude is the only one with a false wall.

A successful jailbreak will earn you the achievement 'Wanted', and net you 10G on Xbox 360, or a bronze trophy on PlayStation 3.
