The World The year is 2035, and the collapse of the American government in 2018 caused a drastic reform of a system the people had allowed to shatter. Already impartial and flawed, the judicial system had threatened to fall into decay years prior, and with the administrational fallout of 2018, the government was finally called to take accountability for its failure to act, and was forced to restructure the law brick by broken brick. The office of 2020 moved for a radical reform in the judicial system: not only the classification of criminals, but the penalties for the crimes they committed. This new plan called for an ultimate vision of safer streets, better-detained criminals, and a jarring halt to the revolving-door the impartial system had lent itself to in the years previous. Crime rates dropped with new policies; laws that changed sentences to life were passed and executed quickly, and the convicted were left with barely a prayer of parole. Those lucky enough to escape the prison system recieved a ruling of the death sentence, and from the trial were taken immediately to their deathbeds.
Now, the judicial system only hides the felons that fester behind brick walls and barbed wire. Cramped and caged, criminals are locked away in detainment centers far removed from daily society. The attempt of the government to remove the villains from the throngs of normal society is strong, but it can never truly eradicate them.
With prison populations rising, tensions run higher than ever before. Special Force units that used to be placed in jails as last-resort defense are now a precautionary measure, and the crime in the establishments is out of control - far beyond the hands of the officers in charge.
Looks like the mad run the madhouse.
Setting Welcome to Castile Memorial Prison, the most prominent maximum-security prison in the country. This is where the most brutal of murderers, hardened of criminals, and manipulative of minds are kept, locked in and against one another in a system that offers no way out. In here, only willpower and connections will keep you safe, and with a mortality rate higher in the prisons than on the street, beatings and deaths are rampant. If you're not avoiding the S.F.s, you're watching your back from the SS and other minor gangs and individuals out to beat your ass in.
