Since none of the laws work, why all criminals are not let out from their jail cells?
shareidk it might be too hard to get them all back.. you could put a tracking device on them.. but if they had any brains they would figure out a way to take it off

Krillin: Man, that android is toast!
Piccolo: Yeah... More like, burnt toast.
Nope.
Because they are imprisoned for crimes they did outside of the limit of the purge.
However I could easily see the government letting the guards take the prisoners out in the prison yard during that night,and letting the prisoners purge on each other until morning.
Some of the guards probably join in too.Or just attack and purge some that are still in their cells.I think the government would approve of keeping the prison population down as well as the general masses.
Yeah that's s great idea. Possible idea for a sequel? Maybe have an 'innocent' man in prison who has to fight his way through a prison purge? I like the sound of that.
shareI love it! That would ,make a great sequel.
shareWhere's the phone? Hollywood here we come! lol
Merry: That was good. Pippin: Let's get another one!
Escaping from prison (at least in our world) is a crime in and of itself and an escaped convict might have to serve time for the escape even after finishing his regular sentence.
If an inmate escaped DURING the purge it would NOT be illegal. If recaptured all they would have to do is serve the rest of their original sentence, they could not be prosecuted and get extra years added for the escape itself.
I love the idea of part III taking place in a men's correctional facility and the staff getting to purge too, but they should be given the option of not taking part in the violence if they prefer. Inmates in the hospital are off-limits too. Any attack on them will warrant prosecution.
No outsiders. Only residents and employees.
For twelve hours, almost all the doors in the penitentiary are unlocked. (Which means weaker felons, informers, celebrities and child molesters in protective custody are in trouble.)
I think the hero should be guilty of his crime for being in lock-up. It makes the story more compelling in my view then having an innocent guy as the lead character.
The convicts or the guards should be NOT allowed to have guns. That would be the deal for letting the outlaws participate in the festivities since getting the peacemakers back might be a problem. The prisoners can only use weapons that can be made within the walls. The officers can do the same and they can use their billy clubs and other standard issue devices they receive upon employment. i.e. Mace, tazers, etc. It wouldn't be fair, but that's the point.
Sounds a little like Death Race (2008)

Every person that served can be called a veteran, but not every veteran can be called a Marine.
Purge night in a prison would make a good fourth entry in the series.
The guards would lock the actual prison up real tight. But, at the time of the purge, all the cell doors would automatically open allowing a free for all inside the prison. Then after the purge is finished, the army would subdue the prison again.
The prison purge thing needs to happen!
shareoutside of the purge night crime is virtually non existent, I highly doubt there are very many people in jail and if they are they are probably killed on purge night.
shareso basically in order to stay safe during the purge night, all you have to do is to commit some minor stupid crime like shop lifting the day before so they will take you in a cell for a few days where you will be safe?
shareNope. The prison is still locked up during the purge. Now, someone could let the prisoners out, or a prisoner could break out, and those are ok. But the government for the purge is not going to let the prisoners out.
shareThis makes no sense though, since it clearly states that all laws become obsolete during the purge night. Prison stands on law system. They would allow to do anything to up class citizens but would still control the criminals during the purge? F..ing stupid
shareThe laws still exist, but the government has decided that it won't prosecute any criminal actions during that time frame. Anyone who is in jail was guilty of committing a crime outside of Purge hours.
shareDo you know the difference about prosecuting a criminal action and taking an action when the crime is happening?
just for you silly boy:
prosecute. CloseStyle: MLA APA Chicago. verb pros·e·cute \ˈprä-si-ˌkyüt\ law : to hold a trial against a person who is accused of a crime to see if that person is guilty. : to work as a lawyer to try to prove a case against someone accused of a crime.share
I'm not going to argue about exact verbiage and definitions. My point was that the government has decided not to arrest/detain/prosecute/charge/convict/whatever-you-want-to-term-it anyone for committing crimes during that time period.
But committing a crime outside of the Purge time period doesnt mean that you are cleared of that crime when the next Purge comes around. Assuming that they dont drastically change their judicial system, it would be no different than breaking a law today. If you commit a crime and it later becomes legal, you still are liable for breaking the law, and if you take an action that later becomes a crime, you cant be prosecuted for something that wasn't illegal when you did it.
My bet is, they kill all or most prisoners on the purge night. They pretty much stated in the movie that purpose of the purge is to kill off undesired social groups, convicted felons would top the undesired list.
shareThis.
Basically, if you go to jail, you've got the death penalty, and your execution is scheduled for the next annual purge day.
"Should not all jails be let loose on purge night?"
yeah why not , the whole premise of the movie is the stupidest most nonsensical script ever.
