The jailed urban guerrilla is freed through the tactics of armed assault. Urban guerrillas are subject daily to arrest, and may be sentenced to long terms in prison. Even as prisoners, the urban guerrilla does not quit the battle, but continues the struggle in the dungeon.

The imprisoned urban guerrilla sees his jail as but another form of enemy terrain which he must learn to understand and control. He plans his escape as he would plan any other urban guerrilla operation. There is no prison, whether it be on an island, a city penitentiary, or on a prison farm, that is not vulnerable to planning and ingenuity, and to the determination of a revolutionary.

The free urban guerrilla, for his part, looks upon the prison as a target. The prison is an inevitable site for guerrilla assault designed to liberate his ideological brothers.

In this way the free urban guerrilla and his comrade in prison cooperate in the successful conduct of the armed assaults we refer to as the liberation of prisoners.

Guerrilla operations used in liberating prisoners may be conducted:

1. by starting a riot;
2. by an armed assault;
3. by ambushing or attacking trains or vehicles transporting prisoners;
4. by infiltration of prisons by urban guerrillas bearing false official papers; and,
5. by ambushing individual guards escorting prisoners to court or other places.
