Welcome to Gaia! ::

The prison complex at Warden's Weyr is most comparable to a medium security prison in the US. It's heavily patrolled, day and night, by dragons, whers, and unbonded guards. The walls of the prison are high, built of stone, and well lit by glows at night. The jungle is kept clearcut for miles in every direction, to make it easier to spot escaping prisoners.

Prisoners are locked in barracks at night, but by day, most are allowed out. Provided they show good behavior, they are even permitted beyond the prison walls, where, under supervision, they work the fields that provide their food or in the mines where the prison supports itself. Those prisoners who are trained in some craft are encouraged to continue work in there area of expertise, provided the craft is deemed 'useful'. A weaver would be put to work, for example, while a vintner would be expected to simply toil in the fields, or work at keeping the jungle from encroaching on the cleared areas.

Technically, prisoners don't have to work, but those who don't are permitted only basic amenities, while cooperative prisoners are allowed better food and more perks.

For those prisoners who do cause problems, whether it be by disobeying orders or acting out in a violent manner, there are solitary cells. While these cells are for housing individual prisoners, they aren't really 'isolated' in that a prisoner could still communicate with those in the cells nearest, and with any guards that might be patrolling the area.

Prisoners are required to wear bright red jumpsuits at all times. They're not exactly soft and cozy, but they're not miserable either. They are, however, a really obnoxious shade of red.

Upon arrival to Wardens Weyr, all prisoners will be stripped, scrubbed, and their heads completely shaved. This is to prevent illness and since all prisoners are assumed Dusters until proven otherwise, a protective measure to keep them from ripping out chunks of their hair during detox.

All prisoners spend at least 24 hours in detox, enough time for withdrawal symptoms to show. For those who are actual users, they are confined to a medical facility to be cared for until fully free of the chemical in their body.

Once dressed/shaved and clean of Dust, ALL prisoners will meet Warden. He insists on making the acquaintance of each and every prisoner in order to determine how they will be treated during their stay and make sure they know who is in charge.

The name alone should be telling you that the Unstable Pop Block is not for the prisoners who excel in feats of sanity. Don't go thinking a person with Bipolar Disorder or anxiety will be going in this block - Unstable holds the criminally insane and violent, criminals that often need to be kept in straitjackets to keep from harming themselves or others and are all solitary cells.

The prisoners who are able to be let out or are safe enough receive an hour out every other day, closely monitored by a guard and sometimes a mindhealer as well. Any sort of violent action earns them a one way ticket to their cell and, possibly, the white room. Both white rooms are located at the end of the Unstable block and over looked by the Warden.

Bluerider V'tyai runs the Unstable Block. He is a snarky but otherwise humorless man in his late thirties who doesn't take any snap from his prisoners. Sometimes, though, he will smuggle in baked goods for the prisoners who aren't total jerks.

The white rooms are the last resort for disobedient prisoners. They're used so rarely that there are only two of them in the entire place and both of them are located in the Unstable block.

Each cell is eight feet tall with the walls painted a bright, stark white, too thin to even sit down. They are brightly lit 24/7 with some tinkering with glows, completely sound proofed, and there are no edges or cracks in the walls.

When a prisoner is put into a white room, they are in a straitjacket and kept there until their designated punishment time from M'onk is over. They are sensory deprivation at its worst.
