one's in jail?

They must all be destroyed. They have no use to your group; they couldn't even handle regular society, so they sure as hell won't be team players when there are no more rules. With that, you must rid yourselves of the prisoners. Turn them loose? Oh, hell no. That will only result in them all getting chewed up by the undead horde. Once that happens, they'll all JOIN those ranks. Not good. You must prevent people from ending up as more zombies. So, the best course of action is a headshot on each convict.

What the hell is it with all this quasi-quisling-crime-groupie-crap? Are you seriously ganging up on a woman and attacking her because she is afraid she will be murdered, raped and terrorized by a bunch of murderers, rapists and terrorists? The guy who stole a car and or sold a bag of weed are not in the super max security prison. Hell he is probably not in jail at all. Life is not a hollywood movie where every criminal only steal from icky yuppie/racist/the political faction you don't like/your parents/fat/ugly people. Nor are chances very high that they would sacrifice their life for you like they do in the movies. The reason criminal gangs keep getting new recruits is because there are always scum sucking cowards out there who would rather be the bitch of any loser with a weapon and a will to use it rather than standing up for himself, after all if you lick their boots long enough you there might be a chance you will get a poor bastard beneath you in the pecking order. And you would never get that chance if you just hung out with regular folks! Blargh this authoritarian bull**** is making me sick in my stomach! Everybody know that if you let hundreds of criminals join your group you will have to accept their lifestyle, so the only one who would join them are people who either secretly or not so secretly desire that lifestyle they have been to afraid of the law to do it before. It is also very noticeable how the veiled death threats and threatening tone came very quickly from the pro criminal camp. The only thing more annoying than a power worshiping moral whore of a semi-facist is a power worshiping moral whore of a semi-facist that hides himself under a thin veneer of political correctness and liberal babble!

Ok then. . . .

in a natural disaster like that in new orleans,all prisoners are set loose if the city sees fit. minimum security prisoners are almost a given otherwise they woulda died in jail In a "normal" situation, I would have no issue with that approach. Just let them go, and you're safe. If they get themselves killed out there, no big deal. But in the "dead" world, it changes: when you let them go, you run the risk of them literally joining the "enemy" ranks. You'd let them go now, just to have a few hundred of them become new zombies banging on the door a week later. And that's the thing the has to be avoided at all costs.

There are options beyond "kill them all" and "let them loose." What I believe would happen is that after the fall of society in general - once the prison realized it was on its own - the inmates would be involuntarily commissioned into service keeping the areas around the facility clear of zombies and/or going on scavenging runs outside. They'd be issued weapons as necessary for close combat with zombies (blunt melee weapons) and they'd be given the most dangerous and/or unenviable tasks. Entering unsecured buildings, exploring surrounding areas, transporting supplies, etc. The guards would oversee the operations from a relative position of safety. Inmates that got out of line or were habitual trouble makers would be given progressively more dangerous tasks as an example to others. Prisons make the inmates work. The post-zombie prison would be no different.

Even then, I wouldn't trust those guys completely.

Ok then. . . . I know right !! I want him to Tell us how he really feels. LOL.

Who said anything about trust? Prisons have made inmates work for centuries both inside outside of the prison walls. It isn't about trust. It's about control. Chain gangs and forced labor camps run rampant through history.

Forcing hundreds of inmates to do anything will take a LOT more manpower than a survivor of the dead can muster.

You should have quit while you were way behind. i seriously doubt theres any prisoners when martial law is in effect That's right because then everyone is a prisoner.
