Alcatraz - Altered Human Detention Center

March 20th, 2017. The Federation of Western America revealed to the public their new Detention Center specifically for Altered Humans. Those who were once 'Human' have a right for rehabilitation and now New York boasts the first facility able to hold these 'super-powered' individuals.

The space had been divided so that it can accommodate both genders. There is a male and female side and the two never cross over, both sections have their own wardens.

Only those judged to benefit from rehabilitation will enter Alcatraz but those who qualify will wish they hadn't. Imagine the most secure prison imaginable. Now, multiply that by ten and you're getting close to it's level of both physical and magical security. The majority of the prison guards are Humans with Abilities who are members of the Vanguard of Humanity. Their training in combat and security measures are unmatched. Each and every one of these guards would eat five of your toughest inmates for breakfast.

The site of Alcatraz was chosen because of what it represented to the population. Two years after the Nevus event, construction began and after five years of construction, the first prisoners were incarcerated April 1st, 2017. While it is considered a 'maximum security facility', perpetrators of minor offenses may also serve their time there because of the nature of their abilities. It's also quite safe because there is no 'general population'. Allowing criminals with extra-abilities to gather is simply stupid. All prisoners serve their time alone. They will only gather in groups of no more than four for daily routines, always in someway bound, always under supervision. There is no privacy in Alcatraz so get used to Big Brother looking over your shoulder at all times.

New Alcatraz is supposed to represent the cutting edge in 'super-human detention'. Anyone incarcerated in this prison needs special permission to 'break out'. It's not much of a prison if over three characters in a year's time escape.

SECURITY

Prisoners wear the classic orange jump suits. Their method of restraint is specially designed to nullify their abilities, the most common form being drugs which inhibit their powers. It is only when a person cannot be controlled by any means that a court may unfortunately opt for the death penalty. To qualify for a stay at Alcatraz they have to be confident in their control of the inmate. Before a criminal will even set foot in the prison they undergo a full scientific exam to determine whether or not their powers can be managed.

Alcatraz guards are basically the best the Vanguard of Humanity can offer for the position. Naturally, the best of the best aren't lining up to guard criminals but those they do provide are more than adequate for the job. Highly skilled in combat and well trained in assessing extra-abilities a team of them are more than capable of taking on most unrestrained criminals in a straight up fight.

THE RULES OF ALCATRAZ

The rules are simple. If a prisoner at any time threatens the life of a guard they are tossed in the 'hole'. This dungeon is a 4' x 4' shaft that descends half a mile underground, below the sea. There are several other security measures in the shaft. There is no escape. They'll be left there until their almost dead and then after that, if they ever threaten a guard's life again (this means any attempt to escape) they will be killed on the spot.

CELLS and PRISON LIFE

One prisoner to a cell. Prisoners are ALWAYS in some way restrained. There are always guards present.

There are seven levels to the main complex, each color coded. There are levels: red, yellow, blue, orange, purple, green and gray. They have nothing to do with the severity of the prisoner's crimes, except the middle level (4), which is gray. It is known to harbor the most dangerous criminals.

There is no place that is accessible to a prisoner that DOES NOT have cameras.

Alcatraz for all it's high tech gadgetry is still your basic prison. Prisoners eat in their rooms and have little contact with other inmates. Each level has a courtyard with 'agro-lights' (natural sunlight bulbs) which they are allowed to visit daily with no more than three other prisoners.

There is no helicopter pad. The prison is ONLY accessible by the water.
