Are you *sure* it's a "simple building?" We don't get much info on what it's like inside (besides the quick zig breakout, which is only a portion of it.) We don't have a *lot* of info on what else is inside - which might make for an interesting arc or some such.
On the other hand - you'd have to explain, with that forcefield, why there are Prisoners (who are perfectly 'normal' as opposed to powered) out on the street, or face the wrath of the badgers when they can't get their prisoner defeat badge any more. 
(Not really for or against, hoenstly.)
While I'm not entirely sure if it's proven canon, it's not a big stretch to assume the Zig utilizes power-dampening technology.

It's actually spelled out in canon that the Zig prisoners are subjected to a Power dampening drug. When going through Breakout, when you pick from the two contacts inside the prison, one of them tells you to talk to a Troll for some Superadyne to counter act it.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.

The Zig's got a mass breakout going 24/7!

Or the Zig and the PPD's local slammers have the same or similar medical kit as the hospitals every novice Natural human hero's going to be getting seriously familiar with in his or her early days?|

Well that's all well good and all for keeping prisoners in, but it seems to do a @#$% poor job keeping folks (*cough*Arachnos!*cough*) out.|

You know what they need? Missile arrays, a detachment of Longbow Ballista, each with their own platoon of nullifiers, PDD SWAT Equalizers brought up to level 50, and that forcefield still wouldn't hurt.
Besides, can't they get in trouble for all the heroes that leap over the fence and beat on already detained inmates in the courtyard?

My suggestion? Put a simple Forcefield around it that shows the fact that the villains are indeed stuck inside. Seems a bit odd to me that we capture a supervillain like frostfire who cant even escape from a simple building . . . . . .
Small graphical change but needed imo.
