Another route you could take with the story is for your hero to use trickery on one of his captors. for example: Hero shows a few gold coins to a guard. Guard reaches his arm through the bar to get them. Hero grabs guards arm and pulls. The guards head hits the iron bars and renders him unconscious. Hero grabs guards keys. Freedom. Another great escape that comes to mind would be Game of thrones by George RR Martin. Tyrion lannister escapes from the Eyrie.
