It would seem to indicate he was stuck in the cell for 7 days. The German sergeant who comes to BJ's cell is wearing the uniform of a soldier in the Heer (Army), but his helmet bears the insignia of the Waffen-SS. The escape from the cell mirrors Episode 1, Floor 1 of the classic Wolfenstein 3D game, which begins with B.J. overpowering his guard and grabbing his pistol in order to escape from the dreaded Castle Wolfenstein. Using some stealth and trickery, it is possible to begin the level by silently killing ten enemies using only the Knife, and without causing a single alert.

Most RTCW levels are inspired by media like books or movies. For Escape!, it is Gene Wilder's "Young Frankenstein" from 1974.
