K3 Prison District of Martelain

by Aaron Smalley
Martelain Prison District is named after the massive prison that was built here about three decades ago in an area that had been largely desimated by a massive riot a year earlier (one of the worst riots in Channel Cities history) that caused a very large portion of this section of Martelain, where the prison now stands, to be burned down. Of course the Northern Empire that now controls Martelain used prison labor to build the large structure and because of that, it its structure is flawed in many locations. Resulting in parts of it already falling into disrepair. It is a low structure of stone construction and typically has anywhere from 200 to 400 Northern Empire troops/guards on site at any particular time. With this number sometimes going even higher when an execution is occuring at the Executioner's Block, which is a moderate sized raised stone platform in front of the prison entrance on the west side.   Note that blocks that are marked with a "B" are burned out ruins, usually resulting from riots that have occured at times in the past.   Please note that if the map/image of this district is opened (in a new window or tab) it will show at a higher resolution on most computer systems and will be easier to read, if needed.   The population of this district is roughly 4,000 residents (plus an estimated (and constantly varying) 1,500 to 2,000 or so prisoners within the prison).
