New Zealand prisons Updated 30th Aug 2006 - NormB
New Zealand prisons Updated 04th January 2007 - NormB Refer post by wombat69
New Zealand Prison file Update Includes New corrected websites, New Prison, Old Prison removed and corrected locations of others. - Updated 25th January 2008
I am trying to collect prison placemarks.
As of today, I just looked up the prison placemarks on the BBS, organized them in folders for continents, subfolders for countries and, for the US, in sub-sub folders for states. Then I set the eye-altitude for all of them to 1000 m to make comparison of the sizes of the prisons easier.
I also added a little bit of my own.
There is still much work to do but I posted it now to give anyone interested a chance to participate.
I plan this to be a work in progress. So anyone who has placemarks for prisons, please post them to this thread and I will update the KMZ file and edit it in this post. Especially prisons in South and Central America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
Some useful links to official prison homepages and background informations would be fine too. I will put the links into the descriptions.
If you find any errors, please tell me.

Nice project indeed!!! Here is my contribution.
Wormwood Scrubs High Security Prison, London, UK. It is a very well known prison in Britain. Long long time ago a Russian spy escaped from that prison and I think a movie was made about that story!!

Here's HMP Parc, a privately run prison. Resolution is low but you can see the reflection from the metal cladding!
As an associated topic I'll shortly start a thread on High Secure (Forensic) hospitals.

and another
HMP Dartmoor:
"
Dartmoor
Built in 1809 Dartmoor prison held French and American prisoners of war. It became a criminal prison from 1850. Most of the buildings date from the late 19th century but 3 wings have recently been fully refurbished. Integral sanitation in all but one wing, and a new kitchen has been built.
Dartmoor is a category C training prison. Following a Performance Test in 2003 Dartmoor now operates under a Service Level Agreement (SLA). Dartmoor has done much in recent years to shake off its historically austere image, and boasts the outstanding Public Service Team of 2004-05 and the 2004-05 Prison Officer of the Year Titles."

Prison you located in Slovakia is the biggest one and its name is Leopoldov (very nice hires)
The others in SLovakia I know , but not able to locate , are in: Ilava, SK
Trnava, SK (womans prison)
Sabinov, SK (military prison)
You may try to fly there and to locate them (all in Lowres areas).
Maybe there are even more prisons, but there is not an oficcial list of prisons on webpages of the responsible ministry (I was just searching for)
