[ad name=”AD300x250Posts”] Have you ever wondered what happens at a prison when a natural disaster is about to take place?
This writer wonders what happens to the inmates that are behind bars when the weather turns extremely bad and there is a state of emergency called. In times of crisis most people flee and tend to get to their homes, swoop up their families and head for the hills. What happens then if prison guards were to desert their posts to be with their families?
While it’s understandable to get to your family as they are indeed more important than total strangers, its also understandable to have a sense of duty, albeit…
What got me thinking about this was while watching the show “The Walking Dead” on AMC. With America’s prisons busting at the seams, I sat and wondered about the men and women behind bars and that their fate is determined by the only person left standing (who was not a mutant zombie) with the key to the cells.

Am wondering what is the norm for problems like this and will surely try to find out and let you readers know. I am sure its quite simple, but then again, when dealing with human emotions I dont believe anything is as simple as ordering people to “stay behind”
I heard that in a true crisis, like war, that a secret provision is in place and an order could be given to execute all the prisoners before they had a chance to be abandoned or let go by caring guards. They are owned by the state and like the prision guard just stated ….. Provisions are in place to protect the surrounding communities. If Armageddon hit and our land became lawless …. Would we really want to release some real bad lawless people out into the already free for all.
I always wondered what happened to prisoners in case of a natural disaster. Maybe you can get a prison guard to tell more?
As a former prison guard, trust me when I tell you that provisions and plans have been put in place to safeguard the prisoners and also the communities surrounding the prison.
if it was meant to be it was meant to be. I say save us innocent citizens before you start saving murders, theives and drug addicts. You let them out and we are put in danger again. just let them sink or swim in their cells.
To the former prison guard, having Standard Operating Procedures does not mean the procedures will be followed. Have you forgot Katrina? The guards in New Orleans parish abandoned their posts and left the prisoners locked in their cells in waist high sewage.
Great article. Not many people remember those locked away while really bad storms or floods hit an area.
