No but there would be several other charges that would be just as bad or worse. Attempted escape( probably why he wants the doors to open) destruction of public property from the water damage. I'm sure there's some felony charge they will stick on you for doing it in a state or federal jail. You're probably looking at 10 years minimum for a stunt like that.
