Following an incident that caused death to many children of Harshel Greene, he forced Rick Grimes and his group to leave his farm. However, Glenn left behind from their group to his farm to pursue his newly formed relationship with Maggie. Once again, Rick and his fellow survivors came out on open road-trip they started from Atlanta.
After few days of scavenging, Dale and Andrea finally came across a completely abandoned prison facility over the hills and showed it to Rick. Though it is now infested with walkers, they all decide to reside there permanently if possible. Not willing to spend any more nights in RV, Rick, Andrea and Tyreese starts cleaning up its outer yard.
Using only their regular melee weapons, they pick up some roaming zombies until more of them pour in from inside and they start shooting. Rest of the group members was none too excited to stay put inside RV to look after the children. Allen was outside of fence keeping a watch and saw Andrea coming back to fetch more bullets.
Soon, those three cleaned up most of the Walkers and then used firepower when more of them start pouring in. Doing their assigned clean-up jobs next day inside the prison compound and hoping to get to a possible stockpile of canned food, they found four remaining inmates; Dexter, Andrew, Axel and Thomas sitting in cafeteria.

Collecting issues #13-18 from titular series, entirety of the story has served as primary inspiration for early episodes of Season 03 of The Walking Dead live-action TV series aired on AMC. Even though source material from comics has inspired TWD in beginning, it starts to differentiate too much from roots as they keep progressing.
In a six-issue tale, survivors have faced deaths of some beloved and started to realize larger threats other than ravenous zombies lurking among them. Driving all characters towards another major arc, "Safety Behind Bars" is following tragic events of "Miles Behind Us" from earlier and continues in "The Heart's Desire" up next.
