[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6309891, member: 19675"] My point wasn't necessarily that they would have to make completely different kinds of prisons- they clearly don't- but rather, they wouldn't build a typical prison at all. Cells with bars are useless. Where Mayberry could get away with a small, barred cell, its eladrin counterpart could not. Not unless, as others point out, the prisoners are hooded, shackled and spoonfed. A prison isn't just about keeping prisoners behind the outer walls, [I]it's about controlling prisoners at every step of every day.[/I] Consider a moderate sized prison with 200 inmates. If you can't keep them in their individual cells, they'll be able to act in concert to capture guards and escape. Which is why you'd see pits, mines or labyrinths as opposed to traditional RW prison architecture. Similarly, you wouldn't have an utter absence of stairs or ladders. Eleadrin can't blink upstairs with furniture, nor can they teleport up in the air and hang there while building a structure. But they might very well minimize their use, and/or place them differently within a structure. As for emergency egress...when all you need is LoS to 'port 30', you can get a hell of a lot of people out of any building in seconds as long as they can get to a spot in the room with a view.
