You are missing the can of tear gas (or grenade or whatever they call it, I've
forgotten).  Once you do obtain that, you'll need to do this (and you have
to be very quick about it or you'll die):
Remove the vent
Toss the canister into the vent
Cover the vent with the newspaper (to keep the gas from coming back into your
cell)

I'll let you take it from there....
