Because it’s Goodyear, AZ. It’s on the west edge of the Phoenix/Metro area and almost out of town. It’s an RV Park, Perryville Prison, The city of Surprise, and an exotic wildlife zoo. If any of those populations were to escape (especially people from Surprise), you wouldn’t want them to mingle with normal society.

Cotton Lane: because this used to be cotton fields, one of the major agriculture crops of Arizona

Prison: because when this prison was built, it was like 25 miles west of town, now it’s continuous city well past this point

Surprise: a western suburb of Phoenix

Zoo: wildlife world zoo, a private zoo with too small cages and little in the way of habitat for the animals.

Trailers: because the Phoenix area is a trailer park that somehow grew up into a city.

If it hadn't been for Cotton Lane Zoo
I'd be in prison no Surprise, there too
Where'd you come from?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you come from Trailer Park Sue

Hey kids, surprise!
I'm not taking you to the zoo!

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

This just sounds like a normal zoo from the animals’ perspective.

Plot twist: those are all the same place

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago

They're all the same building.

Welcome to Phoenix. This list applies mostly everywhere

[–] Sarcasmo@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

You can skip Surprise if you don't bend over in Prison.

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I think it might be escaped convicts riding escaped zoo animals.

Maybe it's a "Tout Directions =>" type of situation? Often used in France to get through towns.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

I wonder what the surprise is.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

At least it has trailer access.
