Alderney State Correctional Facility

The Alderney State Correctional Facility is a prison in south Alderney in Grand Theft Auto IV. It overlooks the West River and Algonquin. The prison is designated in the game to be it's own area, not administrated by Acter Industrial Park which encloses it. It appears to be a medium security prison, as there are many armed guards guarding the area, barbed wire fences and guard towers. It is not a maximum or supermax security prison, as such facilities are not located in or near most major cities. Inmates can be seen idling around, sweeping the prison grounds, and watering the grass. A chapel is located in the southeastern section of the prison where a preacher is sometimes seen preaching there.

Niko Bellic will not receive a wanted level if he enters the prison unless he injures an inmate or guard. However, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Fernando Lopez will receive a three-star wanted level upon entering the facility, with the facility's alarm going off. Ways to gain access inside the prison include the use of a helicopter or a tall vehicle like the Yanke to climb over the wall. In multiplayer mode, the main gate to the prison is unlocked so the player can drive through the entrance into the grounds. There are no guards or inmates in multiplayer mode.

Known inmates

The only known inmate currently serving time is Gerald McReary. He received a lengthy sentence for various charges including racketeering and armed robbery.
Aiden O'Malley was supposed to be transferred there on charges of grand larceny but was rescued and executed in the mission Tunnel of Death.
Billy Grey did time after he was arrested in the mission This Shit's Cursed, most likely for a parole violation, but was killed while inside during the mission Get Lost when The Lost Brotherhood broke into the prison.

Trivia

It appears that initially, the large, fully fenced-in (both the top and sides) concrete recreational area was a baseball field, and the developers forgot to remove that underlying field texture when the prison is viewed from a great distance (more likely than the next statement). However, the field may also have been used for scaling purposes in initial planning. Or it could be something completely different. Those two idea's of this editor's theories. The field texture can be seen if you are high enough in the air and far enough away from the prison (as long as you are at least 1/3 of the way up on the altimeter and on Algonquin, you should be able to see it. Try looking from the top of Rotterdam Tower). Seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony (confirm in other versions?).
