Freeport: Blackwater Prison

Purpose / Function

Blackwater serves as a prison for lawbreakers and murders that have been captured on the Crescent Island or its surrounding waters, political prisoners are held here until they are extradited to whichever government wishes to claim them. Most murderers are publicly executed once convicted, but some special cases are contained here indefinitely.

Alterations

The vaults beneath the prison have been added to extensively and now run many levels deep, it now has the capacity to hold planar beings and other magical creatures.

Architecture

The prison is made of black granite that is approximately six feet thick and laced with magic that creates a dead zone within the walls and buildings. It is situated upon a rocky outcrop in the bay that reach some 70 feet out of the sea the shear drop ends in rock beach, that is waterlogged and exposed. The only access point in to the prison is via the mechanical lift on its northern face, the main courtyard is heavy guard and surrounded on all sides by buildings. The lower levels of the prison house specialist cells and interrogation rooms design to deal with the most bizzare of individuals.

History

Blackwater was built some fifteen years ago after the old town prison became inadequate for the types of people that live and visit freeport. It was construct by the craftsman of freehold under the guidance of the The League of Explorers and Artemes Scott. To this date nobody has successfully escaped the prison due to its defences and vigilants of its guard.
