Prison Passage is the fifth level in Twisted Metal: Black. Taking place on the inside of a prison ship which eventually docks on Blackfield Asylum, it is a massive-sized arena, and the player has to defeat 8 enemies to advance. Upon completing the level, the player is prompted to choose between the Snowy Roads or Drive-in Movie arenas.
Description (Manual)[]
On this battleground, fight in and above the bowels of a ship destined for a desolate prison island. The battleground is huge, so be sure to explore it throughly. But beware, no one has ever gotten off the island...
Info[]
The level starts off within a small warehouse/cargo holding area, where you must battle 2 other opponents. When enough time has passed or when you have destroyed both opponents, the walls open, allowing the player to travel outside, where it is revealed that you are actually on a prison ship at sea. You must battle 4 opponents now, unless you have killed any of the previously mentioned two.
Eventually, the ship reaches the mainland. Once the ship docks, a gate at the front of the ship opens up, providing access to Blackfield Asylum. 4 more opponents are introduced, making the entire level a battle with 8 opponents. The player can battle on the prison ship, inside the asylum, and the surrounding land area. A road encircles the entire map.

Secrets[]
- Unlocking Manslaughter: When the ship has docked, go through the front gate and go to the right side of the ship. You will come across red and blue crates. Shoot them with your machine guns (NOTE: if you shoot them with the Mega Guns cheat code, they will simply blow up, and you will not be able to drive on them) so that they form a ramp. Drive on the crates and shoot the ship repeatedly. A large, empty room will open. Destroy the console in there, and Manslaughter is yours.
How to Unlock[]
The Prison Passage arena can be unlocked in the Suburbs arena. Unlocking the arena is somewhat difficult; faster vehicles such as Mr. Grimm are recommended for unlocking it. To unlock it, the player must go to the Ferris Wheel area and locate a gas can near a building. The player must then jump to the rooftop of that building, then to the rooftop of the building directly to the left, then use turbo to reach the building directly on the right. Destroy a structure on the roof and drive over the icon and Prison Passage will be unlocked.
Trivia[]
- In the front of the ship, there is a raised platform with 3 prisoners under electric chairs. If the player shoots the platform, it will ignite the chairs, electrocuting the prisoners.
- There is a blimp that circles around the mainland that can be shot down. It is unknown if this is Calypso's Blimp or not.
- The Blackfield Asylum depicted in this level is much more grand and intricate than the one featured in the cutscenes.
- In the background music one can hear an eerie, ghostly verse from the song "Paint It Black" by Rolling Stones. This is the song that plays during the credits and main menu.
- There are alternate versions of this level exclusive for Multiplayer. One that only takes place via the prison ship with the level never reaching its destination, and the other already set post-arrival at Blackfield Asylum, with a wall blocking all access to the ship.
