Maybe he jumped off the mattress, scaling the stone walls, harpooning himself to the lip of the skylight, used shear strength of his big toe to operate the crank and managed to lift himself out using a stick of gum, a shoe lace and a ball point pen...am I close?

Answer..........First, the prisoner dug a hole in the dirt floor. Second, the prisoner piled the dirt from the hole against the wall. Third, the prisoner climbed the pile of dirt and escaped through the skylight.
