...barber shop. The holes in the wall were only 10 in. by 14 in., and though the shoulders of the three men were as broad as 17 in., they pushed through into a little-used utility corridor behind the cell wall. From there, they climbed up a 30-ft. pipe to an air-conditioning vent, pried it loose and squeezed through to the roof. By now they were in full view of the guardpost at the No. 1 tower at the northern end of the prison compound...

Most of it is created by the high-sudsing detergents used for household work or washing dishes in the sink. Such detergents sometimes cause foam to back up stories high in the pipes of tall apartment buildings. A high-sudsing syndet falling through a pipe from the 15th floor may enlarge itself 17,000 times by the time it hits the basement. The widespread use of low-sudsing detergents (among them: All, Dash, Fun, Spin) would help vastly to solve the problem...
