Pelican Bay does have the MAX yard but there aren't as many bad-bad-bad-bad guys there as you may think. PB is a level I/IV facility meaning tehre are alot of prisoners that aren't "as bad" as the other facilities (I forget if Level I was the lowest or Level IV was the lowest). The worst of the worst maybe there but the bad-bad-bad guys are mostly in San Quentin (like Richard Ramirez (Night Stalker), Charles Manson, and, LOL, Scott Peterson) - those guys are MAX yard where, if lucky, they get out for one hour a day AND THEN with 2-3 guys in the yard with them. Pelican Bay has a lot of top tier gang members who, I GUA-RAN-TEE, would be off'ed by the C.O.s as soon as they get a chance. They are too much of a risk to let out to society.
I would be more concerned with the pot growers in Humbolt County then the population of PB. though i can totally see the growers "hiring" the PB escapees as security for their facilities.
Th Ukia (sp) area has low rolling hills with some dense forrest and such. I've been turkey hunting up there and both Snake, Matt, and Boogie are right not much in the way of industry up there.
