The Kentucky State Prison, also known as Knox Penitentiary is the most iconic location in Rosewood. The prison likely employed a significant number of residents in the town and its surrounding areas. The prison went from a standard, medium-security correctional facility to hell on earth during the outbreak. Inmates that weren't killed during the prison riots, would've been trapped in their cells and rendered helpless until they succumbed to the Knox Infection or some other fate.
The prison is one of the most dangerous places in Knox Country. The facility has a massive zombie population, and the cramped rooms and hallways make it rather difficult for survivors to maneuver past hordes inside the prison. The vast majority of the zombie population at the prison are the former guards and inmates.
Exterior
The prison is enclosed by barbed wire fences and only has one main entrance that can easily be barricaded. Each corner of the exterior also has a guard-tower overlooking the area. The main entrance of the facility has a guard barracks, which has a door that leads into the prison itself. A small armory is located in the upstairs area of the barracks. Many of the prison's doors are reinforced, and the windows are protected by bars.
First floor
The first floor of the facility contains various jail cells, showers, offices, the kitchen, and cafeteria. Many of the doors are reinforced, requiring keys or an appropriate weapon like an axe to break it down. The prison yard can also be accessed through one of the cells areas.
Second floor
The second floor contains less zombies but even more jail cells, offices, a break room and the prison infirmary. The infirmary's supply closet is protected by a reinforced door.
Trivia
- Prison escapee zombies can occasionally be found around Knox Country, implying that some inmates were able to escape by taking advantage of the chaos during the outbreak, before later succumbing to the illness.
- The chaos seemingly began in the canteen, as there is more blood spilled there than anywhere else in the prison.
- It was teased that the prison vans will be added in build 42[1].
- Kentucky State Prison is mentioned on a Music CD Rosewood Prison and a home VHS Dating Agency (Male). The first tape reveals that the prison is already a "little" old, existing since the 70s (this CD does not reveal the date of construction of the Prison, it only reveals that it already existed in the 70s) and in the second tape one of the poor employees who worked in this prison and can be seen who was likely in the prison during day 0 of the Knox Event in rural Knox Country.
- An ironic line from the Rosewood prison song is: "Rosewood can go straight to hell". Because 2 and a half decades later she actually went to hell, becoming one.
