Battenwood

Foresters, carpenters, farmers, and millers the Battenwood originally made their money through their access to owning large plots of woods. Selling it as construction material, then turning it to farmland. As their business grew so too did their ambitions, and eventually, they used their funds to begin the construction of private prisons within their fields. They now use their prisoners as laborers to pay off their crimes instead of rotting in prison, working the fields in return for food and lodging while taking time off their sentences.
