Nades? Nades are always fun.

...Translation: Can't get past the prison part!

You mean the first or second one? If it's the first waiting battle scene then just set-up turrets near the stairs because that's what I do. If it's the second though what you should do is take out the turrets. Then put them back in but put them in so that they face out. There should be one slot left and that's where you will stay in. The combine will get shot right next to you while you stay safe if your slot. Also the turrets won't fall over because they are in their slots. Hope that helps!

Before you shift any turrets, stack boxes for you to get back up to the 2nd floor. After that, shoot all 3 turrets up the 2nd floor, then get the hell up there, set up one turret to one staircase, and then just use the last one as your gun.

Sort of a cheat without cheating. If you don't want to do this, take one turret and put it outside a prison cell. Throw the others wherever you like (you don't need them) and then get into the prison cell without grabbing the turret. Always hold on to your grav gun and don't change to anything else.

If your turret falls, pick it up and let it fall back in place. Manhacks; shoot them into walls. Nades; throw them outside properly. Let your turret take care of the Overwatch and you should be okay.

Leave the turrets where they are, only facing outwards. I got in one of the compartments and basically just hid. If you leave them in the compartments, they are in a tight spot, so its pretty hard for them to get knocked down. At least thats what worked for me.

Here's another way to even the odds. Before descending down into the area grab ALL of the items from the nearby office (filing cabinets, desk and anything else that's not bolted to the floor) and drop them down into the cell block area where the turrets are stored. Then use these items to create barricades at the entrances through which the Combine enter. Non-breakable items like heavy filing cabinets are especially good because they aren't destroyed by gunfire. Anyway, barricades will prevent the Combine from swarming you and allow you to concentrate fire on the two areas closest to the stairwell.

I've played with the take out the turrets, reverse them and put them back method, but found it to be dead boring, TBQBH. First time I beat it, I didn't use any special strategies, but got killed a lot in the process.

I went with the putting the turrets back in their spots...was fun...Watching Combine run in, stare at me for a second, then get shot by the turrets...one or two would manage to get a shot off on me, but my Shotgun put them in their place...the morgue.

I just did my best to keep my turrets set up, and then backed into one of the cells. I used the Gravity Gun on Manhacks and grenades, and the Shotgun on any soldiers that got past the turrets. I died a lot trying to keep the turrets set up, but I made it.

I stayed in the middle room with the ammo crate. Put the turrets in the corners. I think I made them face the entrance opposite to them. I just crouched in one of the corners. A turret sometimes got knocked over by a nade but it was easy to pick em up again. Manhacks would fly into the room and bounce off the walls. Pretty easy to shoot them as they were confused.
