Not a state prison, hell not even a county jail.

You also gotta consider that if you live near a prison, there's likely to be Corrections Officers living in the area. Only guys you'll ever see buying cell phones five at a time and looking for the model with the smoothest corners.

Can I shoot at inmates with a BB gun through the fence?
If yes, then I'm in. I'd try to make an arrangement where the guards could point out which prisoner was really bothering them. |

We live about a mile from the big house. Only one inmate haa escaped in its history and he was found a few yards away, hugging a tree. He hadn't seen a tree in 30 years.

I did it for about 8 years. Kinda nice having convicts mowing the yard and picking up your garbage....
Not a big deal, really. But yes, I would imagine a prison down the road would hurt home value. Haha |

I have a buddy that's a deputy sheriff... lives right next to the jail, with a cruiser at home. Jail is on the edge of a small town, he lives opposite of the town. His wife loves getting random people occasionally knocking on the door.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
All depends as to whether I can sell the prisoners cigarettes and alcohol through the fence for cash. There was an area under construction that had a breach in the fence. Inmates were going through the hole, visiting the liquor store in the neighborhood, and going back to prison. They had a prison break where somebody walked up and lofted a shotgun over the fence to a waiting inmate. Ah, that Detroit efficiency. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/23/us/5-escaped-prisoners-sought-in-detroit.html |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
jail is worse IMO. People are coming and going constantly, usually when people are released from jail they just open the door and let you out. It's a little different for a prison generally, someone is usually there to pick them up or the prison drops them off at a bus station. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I used to live near one in Oklahoma, no issues from the inmates.
The problem is their family, though. They tend to move close so they can visit regularly which doesn’t do much for the local culture. |

Quoted:
My wife and I looked at a house once that I was going to get for a steal. The owners were just divorced, the place was a mess, just the kind of house a man who buys Indian hatchets is looking for. wife: "What's that way over there?" me: "Huh who knows, hey look it comes with a mailbox" realtor: "oh that's Arkham Asylum" me: "fuck" wife: "let's go" I saw a max prison recently that had houses (mostly abandoned now) that were just down the hill from the prison walls. I assume the warden and his top henchmen got to stay there for free? One appeared to still be occupied. There's nothing to worry about, if someone escapes, they want to get as far away as they can as quickly as they can, they're not going to screw with your property. |

Yeah I would, especially a cool looking place like Waupon(where my grandpa served his 6 year sentence
).
The only problem with living near Waupon Correctional is it's in the middle of town, fuck living in town, and you get all the shitbag inmate families moving into the area to be close to their shitbag inmate family members. |

Not a problem.
I have a city and county jail about 2 miles away, and Arizona State prison including death row and SMU about a mile away. Never bothered us, heck when they’d have an escape a lot of the locals would load up their coolers and rifle racks and make a party of it. |

Nope.
Trash is burned, or dumped far away. Trash draws flies. Half the traffic going towards any prison or jail, could be shotgunned with #6's and not a single pellet would hit anything but a defective. The same holds for the community around any prison or Jail. It's no accident that most rural counties, have their Jail right next to the courthouse, and in the county seat. Folks like thier garbage in neat piles, political, and otherwise, where it can be managed safely, and at a distance. Dipshits buy houses near airports and prisons, then bitch about their choices. Just sayin...
