[The Walking Dead] How perfect was the prison as a refuge from the dead

I seem to recall it being almost like paradise. Easily defendab!e once it's been cleared out of walkers.

The style they were in? Great short term, not so great long term. 

It's a modern prison, so the outer perimeter was just fencing. Great for keeping out zombies until they reached a critical level, then the fence comes down. Unless you have somebody on zombie duty every day, the numbers pile up. That then has it's own issues for clearing the corpses.

Issue here is your farming, water, etc, all rely on that fence. It also means anything on the other side of the fence could easily see you. Unless this style was reinforced with something like railroad ties, concrete barriers , etc, it's not a long term solution.


The old-time, pre 1950s style prisons would have been better. The outer perimeter wall tends to be made of brick or concrete, so you quite literally have the zombie-apocalypse equivalent of a castle. It might not keep out a modern human attacker, but it will do a great job against walkers.
