The Bricks in your walls are not staggered.  Staggering the bricks adds
stability and prevents shearing.  Example:

Current                         Staggered
__________ ___________           ___________ ___________
          |           |         |           |           |
          |           |         |           |           |
__________|___________|         |___________|___________|
          |           |         |     |           |     |
          |           |         |     |           |     |
__________|___________|         |_____|___________|_____|

The walls won't tear apart if you stagger them.  Also, since the plates used in
the Jail cells aren't staggered, just a little bit of pressure will knock them
out, allowing the prisoners to escape.

Another good building strategy to use when stacking Objects (like your jail
cells) is to use mostly tiles on top, with two or four studs to keep objects
from slipping off.  Alternately, you could use tiles surrounding a raised
center tile that would fit into a deppression on the bottom of other
containers.

(...) in (...) I think we are looking more at an engineering oversite rather than an LDraw one. When making mock ups of a building in LDraw, I will often build the former style wall for speed to get the shape down and then go back later and re-build (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad)
