Just a thought.
Dec 11 2009, 10:36 PM EST | Post edited: Dec 11 2009, 10:36 PM EST
Had this idea the other day and i'm not sure if its good or bad. A little advice would be helpful.

Okay, while thinking of place to dig-in and prison came across my mind. Prisons or jails are fenced in with ten foot high fences and have razor wire on top. Bars on all the window and so on and so on....... Its a prison, meant to keep you in. Wouldn't this be a good place to ride out z-day or use as a base during reconstruction. Do you find this valuable?

Only if it is (a) empty and (b) intact.

If it is full of criminals trying to avoid getting killed will be a bigger threat than zombies. And if the security is reduced because of the riots by prisoners trying to escape when the zombie outbreak became known about, then it won't be a good place to stay either.

Best thing to do when evaluating any building is to imagine what will happen to it between Z day and your arrival. The odds of fire or other damage is quite high for something like a prison. Do you find this valuable?

Besides, most modern prisons have relitevely light defences. The older ones with the huge concrete walls etc would probably be the best.

Still, unless it was an abanded one you'd still have all the inmates to worry about. Not worth the hassle. Do you find this valuable?

Okay so its one of those bad ideas but I may want to go back and steal the fence when i find a good place to dig-in. Do you find this valuable?
