AngelaB	I've always wondered about the prison option... Mar 26 2008, 12:53 PM EDT One thing I struggled with was how much of a prison would have to be watched, so you'd need a decent size group to man it. Seems like you would also run the risk of systems failing as generators fail, which might reduce defenses if they aren't brick and mortar (electric fences, for instance).

Bajarod2	3. RE: I've always wondered about the prison option... May 10 2010, 3:05 AM EDT Actually these structures were also designed to keep people out as well as in. But the population that lived there before the zombification happened. I wouldn't want to deal with a couple hundred zombies trapped in different rooms. Not only would you have to kill them all, you would have to dispose of the bodies, and then sterilize your new living quarters. So while the structure may be good, the mess would have too many chances of contamination for my liking. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

A: How would the people inside jail cells get bitten by a zombie, they'd have to be the dumbest ****er on the face of the Earth. B: Even if they were infected, it's as simple as cracking the cell door open, throwing a molotov in, and closing it quickly. C: To sanitize the room you only need to throw the body over the walls and scrub the room down. So, a prison in my opinion would be one of the best possible options for shelter ,regardless of the maintenance issues. Besides for the chance that you'll find a couple of mall ninjas or uninfected criminals hiding out. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

C:Okay so how about I Blow someone's brains all over your room. Clean up the body and scrub away ALL the blood at brains and guts. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Yeah most prisons are made of stone..... As far as I know, stone doesn't burn... 3. Not as hard as cleaning up after someone who's constantly spewing barf. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Think, In an outbreak the cells will surely be unlocked due to an "Emergency status" 2. That might be, but also think about the items in the cell along with the flammable liquid that was inside your cocktail, anything that was inside there WILL burn. 3. Tis is true. But after awhile the barf get's water-y and no longer a problem. rotting tissue however poses a serious health problem even if you cant get infected from it. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
palepinkvodkaveins	8. RE: I've always wondered about the prison option... Aug 11 2010, 11:28 PM EDT Prisons ARE the forts of our generation. In the three part series I'm writing, our heroes find them selves seeking refuge in a prison durring the second novel. Prisons are not only built like a fortress, but also come fully stocked with food, a kitchen, medical supplies and hospital wing, weapons and riot gear, and enough books to learn everything you need to know. Prison for the win! Post reply Do you find this valuable?

What type of retarded prison unlocks cells in an emergency situation.... That adds to the problem, not help. 2. Fine. Don't use a molotov. Use a gun or a spear. 3. So don't let the tissue stay out long enough to rot? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Ironback	10. RE: I've always wondered about the prison option... Aug 12 2010, 2:12 AM EDT I've actually done a bit of research into this field. That and I almost became a C.O. at one time. shudder Today's modern prisons would not be advisable imho. They rely to heavily on technology and electricity. Chain link fences and close circuit TV systems helped to reduce staff size and highten awarness. While the older prisons... drool Those were fortresses! Thick walls made or mortar and solid padlocks. The cells didn't work on electronic locks. The older prisons had to be some what self sufficiant as well. Some had their own wells and stables. Back in the day nobody wanted one built near their homes. So they were built out in the country... Man o' man. I could talk all night about this. Just trust me on this: go for a prison that was built before the 70's. Just my .02 ~Ironback Post reply Do you find this valuable?
