| - The Meriwether County Correctional Facility, also known as the Prison, is a main location in the comic series. The exact location of the Meriwether County Correctional Facility is ambiguous, although it is known that the facility is located an hour or two away from Atlanta. In the novel The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor, it is stated that the prison is the Meriwether County Correctional Facility, though it is also stated that the prison is 23 miles from Woodbury and that the correctional facility is only 7 miles away. The prison is where the survivors settle after they are kicked off of Hershel Greene's Farm. It is also where most of the character and continuity's story-arcs were formed. In the comics' continuity, it is the second-longest lasting location the survivors remained in. It is surpassed only by the Alexandria Safe-Zone. The group stayed there for seven months, beginning with their arrival in Issue 13, right up to the climactic and tragic destruction by the Governor and the Woodbury army in Issue 48.
