The Corel Prison is located in the exact same spot of the map as Gold Saucer because it is actually just a prison that makes up the base of the “Gold Saucer tree”. The prison doesn’t really have any security or guards, for the most part, and operates in a state of semi-lawlessness.
The story takes you through Corel Prison just one time and then you can no longer return to this location in the game. Check out the Corel Prison walkthrough section for details. You wind up in the Corel Prison after a man with a gun-arm (Dyne) goes on a rampage in Battle Square and your party ends up taking the fall as the guilty person is assumed to have been Barret.
This visit occurs after you reach the Gold Saucer. When you escape from Corel Prison you receive a Buggy transport from Ester which you then use to reach either Gongaga or Cosmo Canyon.
