The Toluca Prison is a treasure trove of puzzles that even the most seasonedSilent Hill 2player will struggle to get through most of them. James will acquire the Death Row Map that will help him navigate the prison halls and corridors until he makes his way to the Witness Room, where he can spot a generator beside a locked door.
