Do a hard reset

If you're looking for a "security" wipe, then a hard reset is not
enough on an NVFS device. For that, you need to do a factory or "zero
out" reset.

I will instruct my guards when checking a cell that appears empty to
look for the chamber pot. If the chamber pot is still there, then the
prisoner has escaped and they may enter and search for clues. If the
chamber pot is not there, then either the prisoner is perched above the
lintel waiting to strike them with it or else he decided to take it as
a souvenir (in which case he is obviously deeply disturbed and poses no
threat). Either way, there's no point in entering.
