realizing how defensible a prison is. There's a little 2 tile security checkpoint near that overlooks the entrance that is ideal for holding a turret, an once you've cleared all the furniture out of the visitors lobby, you can line that little room with all sorts of traps. I've also woken up to find that the prisons barbed wire fence has wiped out advancing hordes. Nothing has managed to get inside the prison yet, but there isn't much stopping them. The doors got knocked down early on. Also there's the yard. With a pick axe or a jackhammer, you could convert that into a small area of farm land. I guess when the NPC's get more advanced, you could give them their own rooms in the prison cells.
