You have a few of these already, but here is a KML of California State Prisons, with information in each of the descriptions about what that prison's purpose is, how many inmates it has, etc.
It is available on the web at

Fly up a bit from this placemark until you see the H shape buildings in the lower right corner. These are the cell blocks. The marker is where the guards 'live' while they're on duty. 'A' wing is top left then 'B' wing is the next one down then 'C' then the kitchen. Move to the right to the largest block 'H' right and up a bit is 'D' then up to 'E' then 'F' is at the top right. The building between 'A' and 'F' wing is the place where menial jobs are done, and is also the library (This was the canteen during WWII). The exercise yard in the middle is 110 yards by 110 yards so four laps is 1 mile. The two large white rectangles further top right are the vegetable preparation shed and chicken rearing shed for the eggs. The veg grown in the surrounding fields is brought in by tractor and the convicts are split into teams, some have machettes to chop the roots off. After preparation it is distributed to other UK prisons for the convicts to cook and eat in their meals. Potatoes are not grown here. The eggs are also sent to other prisons. Those with weak shells are made into powdered egg for use in cooking (batter and Yorkshire puddings etc.) To the far bottom left are two 'L' shape red buildings and to the right of these is 'G' wing, which was a stand alone 'D' category prison (Lindholme is a 'C' cat.) But this is now used as a Immigrant holding place. North of this building is the college where a wide variety of subjects are taught by real tutors supplied by local colleges. Between the college and the 7 main wings is THE BLOCK or solitary confinement wing where you are sent if you break the rules (!) Up near the vegetable shed is the woodwork and metalwork rooms and mechanical workshops for all the tractors and farm machinery. (all repairs were done by the convicts.) The air is very clean, there is no litter, and no dog mess. On my return to Manchester I realized what a dirty, smelly City it was.

Are you just interested in present-day prisons, or do you want to include historical prisons like Alcatraz in San Francisco, Chateau d'If in Marseille or Spilberk in Brno as well?
