Check out the first lines of the prison's description:
Project: Pegasus was originally intended to research alternative (and unusual) forms of energy, but has also been used as a prison for super-powered individuals.
The place was an energy research center before being a prison. It would have to be designed to contain all manner of exotic particles and energies, including radiation.
And even if, for some reason, it hadn't been designed that way, it's supposed to contain superpowered criminals. With all the energy wielding types out there, you think the designers of the prison are just going to not consider the possibilty of radiation using criminals? Especially since they'd know about radiation using enemies, like Lu, in the first place? I think it's far more plausible that the lab and prison designers (especially the lab designers) would build the base to contain radiation.
And, yes, lead is soft. But it's density makes it an excellent radiation blocker. Which is why it's usually embedded within the center of structurally strong walls.

other than deathstrike vs famine that was my most frantic debate so far
