The Walking Dead

22. The Prison

Atlanta, GA

Book Now

In season two, episode three of The Walking Dead, the group of survivors is driven from the farm, so they are in search of a place to set up camp. They come across an abandoned, yet overrun prison. However, they are later able to rid the prison of zombies with the help of some other survivors, and settle in to stay. The prison, as seen on the show, is not a prison at all. The prison is actually a fairly elaborate set built on the property of Raleigh Studios Atlanta, 600 Chestlehurst Rd in Senoia, GA. It's at the rear of the facility, which is why you don't see any roads, driveways, or parking lots aside from a gravel road or two. The fences, the guard towers, the gates all were built on the rear of the studio lot specifically for season three of The Walking Dead. There is security on the road leading to the studio, at all times, and they are not going to let anyone in there which isn't supposed to be there. There are railroad tracks running behind the property, as seen on the show, but these railroad tracks are no longer used. They're overgrown with vegetation and if you don't really know where to look, you'll likely miss them completely. Where these railroad tracks cross the road leading to the studio there are many signs stating that everything you're looking at, including the tracks, is private property, do not trespass, no photography, and several other warnings. Please respect private property laws here, as well as at every single location for the show. Image source: http://majikphil.blogspot.com/2013/10/touring-land-of-walking-dead.html
