Prison Life

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, 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. 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 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 V'tya. 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. If your character is already a prisoner, assume they met and read the wardens character app if you need to, all "new" prisoners may get an RP, if you would like.
