The Federal Prison is a cornerstone of the Federal Confederation’s penal and labor systems. Designed as a fortress, it serves as both a correctional facility and a labor resource, primarily supporting operations at the Federal Copper Mine. The prison houses approximately 300 inmates, serving sentences under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Federal Sheriff.

The Federal Prison’s architecture reflects its dual purpose as a secure facility and an imposing deterrent:

• Construction Materials: Built entirely from volcanic stone sourced from the Ralar Volcano, the structure offers both durability and insulation against the harsh cold.
• Design Features: Surrounded by a thick protective wall, the prison’s perimeter is reinforced by four watchtowers—each equipped with crank-operated searchlights. The natural barriers of the icy desert further enhance security, isolating the prison from Firetown.
• Lighting and Heating: Geothermal heating from Firetown’s Federal Geothermal Power Plant ensures habitable conditions within the facility.Electric lighting illuminates key areas, including the watchtowers and cell blocks.

The Federal Prison spans three floors, divided into functional sections:

• Cell Blocks: Four main blocks, each accommodating up to 75 inmates, provide secure but humane living conditions. Cells are equipped with a bed, desk, and storage space for personal belongings.
• Mess Hall: A central area where inmates receive meals prepared by the prison’s culinary team.
• Medical Ward: A small but well-equipped ward for addressing immediate healthcare needs, staffed by a doctor and two nurses.
• Recreational Area: A limited space for approved activities, strictly monitored to ensure order.
• Visitation Rooms: Supervised spaces for approved inmate visits.
• Administrative Offices: Offices for the Prison Warden, Convict Labor Managers, and security coordination.
• Utility Areas: Maintenance workshops and storage for operational equipment.

The Federal Prison’s workforce is structured to ensure secure and efficient operations:

Prison Warden (1): Oversees all aspects of the prison, from security to inmate rehabilitation. Security Guards (45): Provide 24/7 surveillance across shifts, monitor prisoner movements, and manage potential threats. Support Staff (13):

2. Cooks (4): Prepare and serve meals in the mess hall.
3. Maintenance Workers (4): Ensure the upkeep of the prison’s infrastructure.
4. Convict Labor Managers (2): Coordinate inmate labor assignments, particularly for the Federal Copper Mine.

• Prison Warden: There is one Prison Warden responsible for the overall management of the prison, maintaining order and ensuring its secure operation.

The Guards of the Federal Prison operate three shifts to ensure continuous monitoring and operational efficiency:

• Morning Shift: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Afternoon Shift: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
• Night Shift: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM

Guards rotate shifts, maintaining strict supervision of inmates and ensuring seamless coordination with the Federal Copper Mine.

A secure transportation system connects the prison to the Federal Copper Mine, facilitating the movement of inmates:

• Convict Transport Vehicles: Specially designed insulated vehicles, dragged by Hoos transport prisoners to and from the mine daily.
• East Gate Access: The East Gate in Firetown’s wall serves as the primary entry point for these vehicles, monitored by a deputy of the Federal Sheriff

Given its critical role in the penal system, the Federal Prison is one of the most secure facilities in the Federal Confederation:

• Alert System: The Analog Siren System alerts the Local Sheriff’s Office to breaches or emergencies.
• Guard Patrols: Guards of the Federal Sheriff monitor all sections of the prison and the surrounding wall 24/7.
• Watchtowers: Four watchtowers equipped with crank-operated searchlights provide constant surveillance of the facility and its perimeter.
• Controlled Access: Entry to the prison is tightly restricted, with checkpoints requiring proper identification and clearance.

The Federal Prison offers an engaging setting for a variety of scenarios:

• Prison Break: Players could assist in or thwart an inmate’s escape, navigating the secure facility and watchtower surveillance.
• Investigation Missions: Discover corruption or mistreatment within the prison’s administration or uncover a secret inmate plot.
• Labor Disputes: Players might mediate tensions between convict laborers and overseers, balancing moral and economic interests.
• Escort Missions: Protect a transport of prisoners to or from the mine, encountering potential ambushes or sabotage.
• Moral Dilemmas: Decide whether to expose injustices in the prison system or leverage them for personal gain.
