- electromagnetic 17y agoYes, because the presence of a Mafia in an area is really the same as the presence of a prison. That's outstanding logic!
- whatusername 17y agowas, not has. You do realise that Australia was originally founded as a penal colony. And that about 50% of the First Fleet (thus 50% of the entire colony/city) were convicts. Wiki tells me that about 165,000 convicts were sent here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia Every city on the list has a prison. Not many of them were originally intended to be a prison.
