SFCF (Alcatraz)

Alcatraz was a correctional facility located 1.25 miles away from the San Francisco Bay Area. It housed common criminals from 1939 to 1963.  I would love the idea where a prison island was located outside the bay and prison transports happened via boat to the island. The island and prison can have a similar exterior than the real Alcatraz but instead, a more modernized prison named San Fierro Correctional Facility.

SFCF already exists in the form of a small prison/county jail sort've interior that I believe they want to expand, it's on land though. I'd think an island-esque thing would be cool, but prison transports would be kinda weird.

Well that would be a great idea but mapping a "island" from 0 is kinda hard.

Very good idea but I think this takes very long time to make it.

Might be sort of weird and unheard of in a roleplay server, but was very common back when prisoners needed transport to Alcatraz. I would imagine they would just add a dock with spawned faction vehicles and would sail them to the prison.

I know little about mapping in GTA so I wouldn't know the hassle and time it goes to making a creating like an island. I can imagine it would take some time though.

The San Fierro prison on BA-RP is already mapped at the San Andreas Federal Mint from singleplayer. I am personally not against an Alcatraz type of prison in Bay Area for the most dangerous criminals, but it would require a serious and active DOC, which we don't have currently. Also the mapping would have to be top notch, because there's no Alcatraz island in the original game. There is however a lot of free space in Bay Area to map one from scratch, but it would require a lot of effort.

We dont actually even have a Department of Corrections currently, possibly you can bring Dept. Of Corrections to life my friend.

I'm sure the BA-RP team has an idea on who they want to run the Department of Corrections already.

Trust me they put all the goods in the PD and fucked off to script.

Good shit obviously...dam think before you speak.

If there was a good island to map on, I would had done it.

But there's nothing worse than an island appearing out from nowhere. Stay true to the original GTA map.

I said this to a lot of people already when discussing the prison. I would love to see it, it might not be full on "Realistic" since Alcatraz isn't used anymore, but it would be neat instead of having a smaller sized prison. Making a prison out in the water would allow for it to be large with multiple cellblocks and so forth. More roleplay. 

Yes from me.

Why not turn that huge boat floating next to the Gant Bridge into some kind of prison ship? U.S.S Alcatraz. 

I'd rather not.

Uhhhhh although I appreciate the fact that this would be a great project when it comes to mapping, it just wouldn't suit well being used as an actual prison. Other than that, major changes to the vanilla landscape can be an eyesore. We already tried it once. Not trying it again lmao.

Where do you get these ideas from, my dude. It's a brilliant idea for me, it really is. Perhaps make a whole faction that takes care of the roleplay related to this. Police deliver the criminals to a specific location, governmental private docks or something then they talk in the radio. A helicopter comes and takes the criminal to the island, the prison. Or maybe LEO's write an /arrest or /deliver command at these docks then the criminal gets TP'ed into the island immediately (he was taken by ship/helicopter). I don''t know, work on this, give your ideas instead of saying that it won't work. If there was only a team that works on ideas like this as if it was a server itself, a prison roleplay server. Perhaps then this would be great, more than great I would guarantee.

I've always hated these maps because the island, sure it could look okay with the new mapping objects, but the road to the prison always looks dumb and never looks like it fits, plus it's been done a million times.

Bro this would take years to make.

ain't gonna lie, sounds cool.
