Question about Walking Dead.

I realize there's a thread out there, but I'm hoping to get a quick answer on this one:

If the prisoners were locked in for almost a year, how did they know the zombies could turn people into zombies? Or did they see enough before they were locked in the "broom closet."

And those prisoners with their hands tied behind their backs, dead in front of their cells, were they killed execution style? And if so, by whom? They were just too neatly laid out infront of their cells. Or is it possible they died from starvation? Which is why they were advised to take them out to the yard and burn them?

And did anyone else notice the bickering over the number of days they were locked in prison? Was it 274 days or 275 days? As if to say, hmm, 30 x 9 = 270 days and a normal gestation period is 280 days. Hmmm....if the zombie scourge began 275 days, which just happens to be the amount of time that Laurie is pregnant, then this has to be Shane's baby. Because Officer Rick was out cold in the hospital for the first month of the plague. Or did I get the number of days wrong?

Ah... I'll shut my mouth and stop myself from giving out spoilers.

I've gone through the compendium and more. So, I was far in to the jail area.

I still intend to watch the episodes one day, but I keep putting it off.

My only response was going to be...

"Read the graphic novels!"

Or, at the very least. Read the actual books that are out now. Rise of the Governor is fantastic.
