These are the correction factors used when you set the lever to a certain position (if you set the lever to an odd number 5 will be added to that number, if you set it to an even number 3 will be substracted). So if you set the lever to 3 door 8 will open. Setting the lever to 8 will open door 5. To open door 7 you therefore have to set the lever to 10 (10-3=7). That means leave the left lever position to number 2 and move the right lever to number 10. Inside the cell you'll find explosive in the red box. Then move to the Alcatraz dungeon.
