This has probably been done a hundred times before, but...what are prisons like in your nation?
In Isla da Penumbra, those who abide by the law are rewarded with civil rights and political rights; those who don't are stripped of these freedoms and rights. In a sense, you couldn't call our 'prisons' a prison, more of a 'rehabilitation' centre. Most criminals are sent to the Colombia Mountain Range to work in many of the mining centres there. Most centres are brutal where extreme violence and torture may occur if wardens aren't supervising the area. All mining centres are divided into seven parts.
There are two dormitories each holding up to 6,000 criminals. These dormitories aren't divided into areas assigned to different criminals, they are just randomly put into either. There are no rooms in these dormitories as criminals must learn to be around other people. There are walkways around the top of the dormitories where up to fifty security personnel armed with riot shields, tasers and dual wield pellet guns monitor the area below. There are two staircases that lead up to the walkway, both of which have electronic cabling circling them which if touched, could mean certain death. The staircases also have covers to avoid criminals from getting on the walkway. The covers have a mechanical code activated door which only opens with a security code assigned to each area. There are two large showering rooms in the dormitories and only one toilet for the criminals to share.
There is only one mess hall in each mining facility which can only hold up to 3,000 criminals at maximum capacity. Recently, because of the increasing criminal population, mess halls are being upgraded to hold a larger capacity, however currently, non-upgraded mess halls have separate dining times. Because of social interaction during mealtime, there are at least 300 security personnel tightly monitoring all behaviour and actions during mealtime. People caught exchanging illegal items in the mining centre are stripped of eating in the mess hall for two months and must eat in a secured room monitored by at least a green ranking warden.
Once per week, criminals are allowed to enter the outdoor mining facilities which include multiple toilets, exercise areas and gyms, sport halls and small food bars serving food that isn't available in the mess hall. The two dormitories use the outside facilities at separate times to avoid brawls, exchanging items and various other actions. These times swap each week starting from 07:00 - 12:00 and then 12:00 - 17:00. Criminals that don't obey to facility rules are stripped of these rights for four months and most stay inside of a small, cramped, padded room.
