	I would have gotten two more if Johnny Cash had been a clue! Happy with the 12 I got though.

	Great idea for a quiz!

	NoVan:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	5 points
	And let that be a lesson to the lot of ya- no chicken escapes from Tweedy's Farm!

	fatbeard:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	15 points
	I think this is one of those quizzes where, regardless of how many you know, there ae just a few that you don't remember until you see them, at which point you immediately slap yourself for forgetting them

	springmom:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:48 GMT	-4 points
	I can't believe that Angola, down in Louisiana, isn't on here!

	Sam:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:49 GMT	11 points
	I think azkaban should be a bonus answer in light of the release of the new harry potter movie.

	quest:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	-3 points
	no adx florence?

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	5 points
	Thank you, Spandau Ballet.

	johnlk:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 04:53 GMT	-1 points
	42% of people managed not to get the Bastille?

	myfacedown:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 05:27 GMT	6 points
	here here on the azkaban!

	capncokenojoke:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 05:43 GMT	4 points
	great quiz. almost makes me want to go to jail.

	Caedus:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 05:52 GMT	3 points
	I concur with the two posters who want Shawshank and Azkaban. Put them as bonus answers please!

	Kitnaz:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 06:46 GMT	-3 points
	I agree with what the person above me agreed with :) ... If you put "The Man In The Iron Mask" I would've got Chateau d'If - i've been there twice.

	JohnJF:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 07:23 GMT	12 points
	Attica! Attica! Attica!

	tophats:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 08:40 GMT	6 points
	Thank you, Law&Order, for the New York ones.

	IHateRegistering:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 09:02 GMT	11 points
	Instead of putting fictional prisons as bonus answers why not make a fictional prisons quiz? Azkaban, Shawshank, Blackgate (Batman & DC comics) etc.

	IHateRegistering:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 09:03 GMT	6 points
	Oh and by the way, I highly recommend checking out Alcatraz if you ever plan to visit San Francisco. Take the audio tour. The whole experience is incredible.

	Pistol:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 10:28 GMT	-4 points
	A lot of people may have not got The Bastille as typing simply "bastille" is not accepted.

	greekmike:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 10:52 GMT	13 points
	I would guess that most of the 19.5% getting Hoa Lo are typing Hanoi Hilton.

	"I find that smuggling is the life for me, and I would be delighted to kill your friend the maggot!"

	antiomi:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 12:18 GMT	6 points
	I can't believe half of people don't get Guantanamo! Hopefully that's a spelling issue, because at least in the US you really have to have your head in the sand to not know where they're locking up alleged Al Qaeda operatives.

	All the characters from the film Cube are named after prisons, which got me the Kansas one. :D

	melissa:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 12:49 GMT	2 points
	I love that line in The Rock where the tourists step into the Alcatraz cells and the "tour guides" (terrorists) lock the cell doors, and one guy goes, "Hey! What kind of f***ed up tour is this?!"

	Mr_Negative:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 12:54 GMT	11 points
	I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die.

	RedSoxFan:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 13:06 GMT	-1 points
	I vote to get Shawshank on here.

	RedSoxFan:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 13:08 GMT	7 points
	Shawshank is a real prison...just was not the prison shown in the movie, that prison was in Ohio.

	Isstvan:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 13:22 GMT	0 points
	@Figment The Man in Black was never the Man in Prison...except for performances.

	btroup1:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 13:57 GMT	-1 points
	@antiomi: Further to your point, it accepts the short name that is used on CNN and other news outlets. Same goes for the one that held McCain.

	Bethannie:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 14:59 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz....I was expecting to see 'the Scrubs' and 'Reading Gaol' - but there isn't room for every prison I guess!....Love the idea of a fictional prisons quiz!

	Booger:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 15:02 GMT	4 points
	@Pistol: "Bastille" by itself is accepted. You never have to enter "the" for any answer.

	Pistol:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 15:23 GMT	-4 points
	@Booger: That's strange as it didn't accept it when I did the quiz a few times a few hours ago.
