Sneak in around the side.

You think better of the direct approach and stick with the original plan. Halfway to the main gate you turn left and sneak off the road. You continue walking for another 5 minutes or so before heading towards the complex of plantation style building looming on the top of the hill.

Eventually you realize the tin snips won't be necessary because you're clearly almost at one of the smaller buildings and you've yet to see a single fence. Maybe it's a minimum security reformatory.

You crouch down and keep approaching when you hear a husky voice yelling "You! Stop where you are!"
