Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.

Bird,

These prisoners have totally separate guards. The hobbit guards and the Men guards do not mix. Remember that there are many restricions on the guards as well as on the prisoners. .

The guards over the hobbit cells are a lowly sort. They probably had not even realized that their own unit backs onto another hidden unit of Men prisoners. This is not their responsibility.

The two prisons, in fact, are generally kept separate except for the few work details which Gamba has seen. The lines of authority on Men and Hobbits are not the same. This is because the king sees the Men in a very different and more dangerous light. Mithadan assumes that the closing of the hobbit prison also brings about the closure of the Men's Prison. I'm not sure about this. In any case, the flood makes the whole issue moot. Anyone who stays will be killed.

Yes, this storeroom is definitely a back door. I have no idea where the front door is, or how easy it is to gain access that way. Perhaps, Mith knows. This is just something the hobbit stumbled on. It may or may not be something useful in the rescue, but at least it gives us a general idea where these Men are.
