Passage from the book.
"The elevator had taken us to the very depths of the prison -- a stretch of bare stone that was easily the size of a soccer field -- and above us as far as we could see lay its tortured, twisted interior. Furnace certainly deserved its name. The walls were made from the very rock of the earth, their surfaces rough and red, and the half-light of the room made them flicker as if they were on fire" (Page 52). This passage is important because it shows how crazy Furnace is and the depth of how dark it is. This as well shows that their may not be a way out.
