 The Federal Prison is the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation’s]] secure incarceration and convict-labor hub. It supplies escorted work details to the [[copper_mine|Federal Copper Mine]] under quota, while maintaining strict low-energy operations in line with the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] and [[communardism|Communardism]].
+The facility is frequently criticized for a persistent shadow hierarchy* among inmates and an internal contraband market. Powerful outlaw groups — most notably the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] — are alleged to exert influence through intimidation, protection rackets, and couriered favors. Reports also cite bribery and corruption risks among some Federal Security Guards (e.g., softened counts, altered work-detail lists, message routing). In the [[ralar_region|Ralar Region]], isolation, overlapping jurisdictions (prison vs. mine), fear of retaliation, and paper-ledger procedures complicate audits; the [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]] often struggles to secure court-grade proof despite recurring allegations.

-**Adventure Hook — The Van That Returned Full:** A returning van logs the correct seal and route, but the **count board** shows +1 body—an extra “inmate” who cannot be matched to any ledger. The tower rota, sally-port bell stamps, and FCS mail window times all align—on paper. PCs must trace a forged **transport seal**, a swapped **laundry crate lid**, and an erased **patrol chalk** mark along the mine corridor. Is this a covert extraction, a planted assassin, or a diversion by the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] to cover a planned breakout?
+  * **Adventure Hook — The Shadow Ledger:** Two Federal Security Guards are found dead on separate shifts in the constant Dark Side gloom. The Local Sheriff declares coincidence and “natural causes.” The [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]] disagrees and deputizes the party for a covert, dual insertion — some PCs processed as inmates , others fast-tracked as Federal Security Guards under GAIA requisition. Inside, the team must map the shadow hierarchy, track contraband routes (laundry carts, workshop scrap, crate lids), and test the paper trail.  rove murder without sparking a yard riot, and decide whether the trail stops at a cell-boss—or reaches a bribed guard cadre working a protection racket for the Jane Mendoza Gang …
