Correctional Facility — Prison Map Guide
The Correctional Facility — labeled Prison on the M-key map — is a mid-tier POI between Woodbury starter suburbs and National Guard military zones in The Walking Dead Online 3 V3 Beta. July 2026 creator walkthroughs list it alongside Alexandria and Hilltop as a landmark every survivor should know. Expect mid-tier weapons, tactical gear, and moderate PvP traffic without the full encampment chaos of Military Base.
Why Loot the Prison
After gearing in Woodbury, the Correctional Facility is the natural next step before pushing National Guard or Military Base. Cell blocks and guard towers spawn shotguns, pistols, melee tools, and medical supplies at a higher rate than starter suburbs. Plate carriers appear less often than at NG encampments but more reliably than in residential zones — see our plate carrier guide for farming context.
Finding the Prison on the Map
Press M to open the labeled world map. The Prison label sits between Woodbury farmland and high-tier military POIs — community map tours from July 2026 confirm it alongside King County, Terminus, and Hilltop as essential navigation landmarks. Drive from Woodbury using a vehicle from our vehicles guide or walk the road network with squad comms on walkie channel T.

Loot Priority Inside the Facility
- Shotguns & pistols — Reliable mid-tier firearms before AK-47 farming.
- Medical supplies — Bandages and meds for longer NG pushes.
- Tactical gear — Police vests and occasional plate carriers on walker corpses.
- Crafting materials — Rags and metal scraps for bandage crafting.
The Prison is not a safe zone. Walkers patrol corridors and Default servers allow PvP at gates. Clear headshots before looting — see our walker combat guide.
Recommended Route
Chain Woodbury → Prison → Police Department → National Guard for a full progression loop. Extract before inventory fills and use loot routes for timing. After the July 2026 V3 update, vehicles shorten travel between these POIs dramatically.
