How To Fix The Generator
Start by using the Prison’s internal phone lines to reachSpecial Detention.There are two guards in the left-hand room, while a third guard in the right-hand room is trying to fix the generator butcan’t find the wrenchthat he needs in the dark.
Go to the light in the ceiling above the guard looking for the wrench, andpop in and out of the Ghost Worlduntil a water drop begins to form to the right. Possess the drop andride it to the floorFrom there, you can reach thetoolbox on the tableand open it to help the guard find the wrench.
When the lights come back on, you canride the grounding sphere of the generatorand catch a droplet on its way down to make your way back to the left. Listen to the guards, then go back into the room on the right.Activate the power manipulator, thenpull the leverin the execution chamber. The guard on repairing the chair will be thrown back, giving you a chance topossess his wrenchbefore he goes back to work.
Wait in the wrench untilwater droplets fall from above,and use them to reach the electric chair’s headpiece. Jiggle it so that it breaks off, causing the other guard to throw it (and you) into the cart behind him. From there,rock the cartto rearrange the junk inside, giving you a path to the morgue. On the way to Jowd’s body, you’ll gain access to the morgue phone, letting you return here easily from other places in the Prison.

How To Stop The Execution
After watching Jowd’s botched execution,possess the phone in the morguewhile the guard calls up to Bailey in the office. Remember that when you’re in the past, you canonly use phone lines that are currently in use.Take this chance to travel to the office andlisten to Bailey’s conversation, thenreturn to the beginning of the sequenceby restarting. This time,wait for the guard’s first conversation to finish, then possess the phone when it rings a second time.
Use the phone line to reach the upper cell block. Enter the pipes through C38’s cell andopen the crumpled noteclogging them. You’ll be brought to the escapee’s cell. When he sees C38’s warning, he’ll get back into his cot.Ring the bellabove himand watch for him to pick up his spoon;while he’s holding it, use it to cross into Jowd’s cell.
Open the frame like you did before, thenwait in the trash binuntil Jowd holds his napkin out to the side. When he does so,open the binso that the ketchup can hits the napkin, leaving a red circle on it. Possess the napkin andride it back to the cell next doorwhen Jowd flushes it.
When the napkin is pulled up from the toilet,jump to the spoonand let Sausage Head carry you into the tunnel over the execution chamber. When he starts digging,drop through the ceilingand pull the lever to prematurely activate the electric chair, causing it toexplode harmlesslywhile nobody’s in the room.
