NCR Correctional Facility

The NCR Correctional Facility or NCRCF is a location southeast of Goodsprings, operated by the New California Republic until a recent prison break. Former prisoners known as the Powder Gangers have since taken control of the facility.

Background
The facility was previously known as the Jean Conservancy, a low-security all-female prison. Under NCR control, prisoners were required to work maintaining the railways. The prison break was organized by Samuel Cooke, who accomplished this by stashing blast powder and makeshift weapons. Some of the Powder Gangers left, occupying Vault 19 and the surrounding wasteland, and the remainder stayed at the prison.

Layout
The prison has one main entrance, which is guarded by a Powder Ganger named Dawes. Whether or not the Courier has provoked Powder Gangers elsewhere, the Powder Gangers here are not hostile unless the player character has established a negative reputation with the faction overall. Should the player character approach Dawes in disguise, he will notice that they are not an actual Powder Ganger and tell them so. He will unlock the door for 100 Caps. Two gaps in the fence can be used to enter, one situated between the lookout tower and the visitors center and the other located directly opposite, along the eastern fence. There are beds, storage containers, a water pump, campfires, and a workbench throughout the location.

Prison Yard
Through the back door of the visitor's center, the player character can enter the main prison yard. A workbench can be found near the door along with an owned crate of explosives. Powder Gangers mill about the yard and are posted at the tops of the towers. Five of the six towers have Powder Gangers posted at the top, and each contains minor loot, consisting of ammunition and healing items. There are upwards of 40 empty whiskey bottles lying around in the prison yard.

Visitors Center
There will be a man sitting at one of the tables named Meyers, who can play a part in the My Kind of Town questline. He is a mild-mannered ex-sheriff who will engage in conversation with the player character. He is not a Powder Ganger and says he is only staying there to serve out his sentence out of respect to the NCR. Since he is not part of the Powder Ganger faction, he will not attack even if the Powder Gangers in the room become hostile.

Cell Block A and B
There are two cellblocks located within the courtyard. Cell block A contains two Powder Gangers and locked containers of explosives and uniforms. In cell block B, the Courier can find Carter who has set up shop in the cell block. A locked cell contains his stash consisting of bottle caps in an ammo container.

NCR CF Administration
Eddie, the leader of the remaining Powder Gangers, has set up his headquarters in the administration building. Speaking to him will initiate the I Fought the Law quest. Scrambler, Hannigan, and four unnamed Powder Gangers are in this building as well. Eddie has the key to the Average locked room, which contains ammunition and explosives. One of the boxes always produces a random skill magazine. The unlocked room next door has a copy of Lying, Congressional Style on the desk.
