Template:LawOrganisation Info

Bolingbroke Penitentiary is the state prison in Blaine County. It is governed by the Los Santos State Prison Authority. The prison is located to the left while driving on Route 68.

The perimeter of the prison is patrolled by the Los Santos County Sheriff.

The penitentiary seems to be inspired by the real-life Victorville Federal Prison in Victorville, California.

A random encounter can occur around the prison where a prisoner pulls you over and then points a gun at you making you get out of the car.

Trivia

  • If the player nears the penitentiary while being wanted, the prison alarm will go off and guards will be warned of the player's presence. This basically means, the guards will attack the player on sight. 
  • LSPD patrol cars can be found patrolling around inside the prison.
  • Shooting a guard with a sniper rifle from the front or back will give the player a two star wanted level. If approached from the back with two stars and goes up the prison's west side they will receive four stars, which is also received for punching the guard who occasionally spawns next to the barriers.
  • Two prisoners will spawn, one north of the prison and one to the east. If the player calls the police to the one north, the prisoner will open fire on police officers, but if the player shoots no wanted level will be received.
  • Inside the recreation yard, there is some writing on a wall that reads, "Where water meets land and fire once spewed forth, there the infinite 8 shall stay until I return." This is an easter egg, and the phrase was possibly written by Merle Abrahams, the infamous serial killer who was incarcerated at this prison.
  • The Bolingbroke Penitentiary is possibly be based on 'Corcoran State Prison' in California where Charles Manson is currently incarcerated in.
