Prison

Prison is where ya end up if you break the law. But only if you get caught! Also known as the Big House, the Pokey and many other interesting nicknames, prison is the one place where ain't nobody wanna be. The politically correct term for a prison is 'correctional facility', but who are they kiddin'? Ain't no correctin' going on there. Just a bunch of mean-looking dudes with bad tattoos and even worse attitudes working out in the yard, claiming territory (usually other inmates), and rolling up a newspaper so they can stab you in the eye with it.

In film

 * Tower of London: Historically, the Tower of London in the city of London has also served as a dungeon prison. The Norman Bishop of Durham, Ranulf Flambard, converted the Tower of London into a prison in 1100. In the film, the Duke of Gloucester, Richard III uses the dungeons in a systematic weeding out of his enemies by way of his club-footed executioner, Mord.


 * Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies: After manifesting once again during a failed museum heist, the Wishmaster djinn assumed the human alias of Nathaniel Demerest and turned himself in, confessing to the murder of a security guard, which he did not commit. He was sent to a prison in Compton, where he used his devilish charm and wish fulfillment powers to create havoc amongst the guards and inmates.

In television

 * The Walking Dead: The West Georgia Correctional Facility was a central setting featured in season three of The Walking Dead and the first half of season four as well as The Walking Dead comic book series by Image Comics. The West Georgia Correctional Facility is a supermax prison located in the western region of the US state of Georgia. When a viral outbreak turned all of the dead into zombies back in 2010, the prison was overrun with shambling, rotting corpses, which have since become known as walkers. Prisoners were contained within their cells, but the prison guards had to suit up in riot gear to combat the zombie menace. Ultimately however, their efforts proved fruitless and they were eventually overtaken. A group of survivors led by Rick Grimes took up residence in the sanctuary, sealing off all of the cell blocks and barricading the front gates. Ultimately however, the prison was attacked by a group of armed marauders from the town of Woodbury led by a man known as The Governor. After a second such attack, and numerous casualties, Rick and the others were forced to move on.
