The described situation in no way describes a negotiation with a terrorist. He gleaned some information entirely on his own without violating any rules, hurting anyone, or threatening anyone. Its entirely reasonable for him to negotiate for some minor benefits in exchange for the information that he legitimately discovered. He wasn't extorting the jail, or threatening to escape if he was rejected. He offered to negotiate in good faith and they failed to reciprocate.
