Caretaker prison coffin episode

I am trying to figure out the name of an episode that has been in my head since I saw it 20+ years ago.

I went to Amazing stories page and someone posted that it is TZ. Anyone remember the episode? If so, what is it called?

Here is the post from AS page:

"Can anyone tell me if this was on Amazing Stories:
All I remember is that it's set in a prison. The old
caretaker is blind (I think). A prisoner is going to
sneak into the casket of the next person that dies
so he can get smuggled out. At the end she strikes a
match and we see it's the old caretaker that was
going to dig him up!

I have been going crazy for years trying to remember
what show this was on. Could it be the 80's version of
The Twilight Zone?"

Nevermind I found it.

It is not AS or TZ it was

Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985) episode "Final Escape"

I remember that episode. It was really good, but the prisoner was a woman.

I think it was an episode of the revamped Alfred Hitchcock
Presents in the 80s.

I just found this post - thanks for the answer. My niece told me about it and I don't think I ever saw it. Maybe it's on YouTube?

Yes there is a 1964 version of final escape and also a 1985 version both Alfred Hitchcock presents episodes. I think both are on youtube as well
