Prisons in the postapocalypse

[Panther Al]

And that would probably happen more often than not - but I can also see more than a few still doing the best they can to carry out the duties assigned out of professionalism.

I'd love to ask my nephew about that -- he was a CO before he enlisted, but he's in Afghanistan right now, and my sister and I had a falling-out, so I don't know the address. US Army Locator might tell me something...

Here's the relevant part, if anyone cares (actually a lot of the "second act" would make good "Post Apocalyptic Images" fodder, too).

Well
A. I like this thread! Esp comics
B. High danger prisoners... i can see the "summary justice" though pre-emptive prison riot could be messy
C. Low priority prisons.... prolly put them to work or some such ...guess it depends on where....after all it is a nice source of forced labor... ;-)

I still wanna figure out the POW camps in USA (WW2 we had 666 of them)... and I think less loyal Pact POW's will become goof recruiting ground for Free Polish Bdes I'm designing and such... true German govt wont allow them in, but I have a Libyan campaign and need warm bodies...

there were at least two prison camps in northern Maine (that I know of) one was Seboomook a prison logging camp where P.O.W's of Rommel's Afrika Corp where sent! The other was camp Houlton which was an Army Airbase and housed over a 1000 prisoners. I have seen the remains of camp houlton which is where houlton industrial park is today. There is nothing there but one ww2 era air traffic control tower. Mostly the prisoners, harvested trees, picked potatoes, worked on road crews. They were fed,clothed and in some instances paid for work (though very little) also some prisoners took extension and correspondence courses. Many did not return to Germany after the war but staid in Maine and became farmers or wood cutters.

I'm going to have to see if I can find that Punisher comic. The Punisher is about the only comic that I like enough to actually buy. Who did the artwork and story?

Regarding the topic, I'd like to think that regardless of timeline (1, 2/2.2, 2013), all of the violent and irredeemable scum (pedos, rapists, crack dealers, etc.) would be killed in their cells.

In the non-2013 timelines, maybe those that can be trusted to some extent could be given very basic training and sent to the war to fill gaps in NATO lines. Sort of like the American contribution to the first special forces group made during WWII (you know, where the Canadians gave one of their best fighting units, and the US pulled guys out of the brig and sent them).
