Toilets are furniture that can be located in toilet blocks or in cells. They are helpful for storing items but there is a chance of the items disappearing. Also during cell shakedowns you can leave items in the toilet - guards don't search the toilets and so you can hide contraband items easily. Toilets can also be flooded. If a toilet is flooded, you cannot flush an item with that toilet. If guards find contraband in flooded toilets, you'll be sent to solitary. In order to unclog the toilet, you must use a plunger or wait for a guard to unclog the toilet.
