Does anyone live very close to a prison or work in one?

A relative is house hunting and found one in budget that would give him far more space for his money than other options in the wider area, but is quite literally in the same street as the entrance to a prison ... a few doors away. It doesn't overlook the prison though, as its on the other side of the street. Its council tax band is also very low for its size, suggesting that the prison proximity is very much seen as lowering its value. So, my question is, what might be the negative impacts? Apart from the rarer risk of escapees, presumably its constant visitors and deliveries and maybe some noise. Has anyone experienced this or maybe worked in a prison so could give some insight?

Category makes a lot of difference. Used to back onto a prison. Super quiet as neighbours go and never had any trouble
