New Arrival

The City had never previously, for many reasons, found a need for any kind of prison system. But the rise of criminal activity, the addition of several individuals that couldn't be contained within Arkham, and the massive consistent corruption of Arkham itself was proving that there needed to be something else.

Arkham Asylum would stand as a place for the insane and the criminally insane alike. But Blackgate rose as a new home for those that needed a more secure holding. The City regretted the need for it, and it regretted the need for the people that would go in it. But the Cityborn were learning from the new criminal elements, and some were far too violent to be kept in Arkham any longer.

There would be a special cell, on a special floor, for a special face, as well.

If he was ever released from his current immobile prison in front of Dinah's shop.

A letter was sent mysteriously to Doctor Crane at Arkham, instructing him to transfer those patients and inmates to Blackgate that he deemed necessary. A letter was sent to the City Courts to do the same.

The newspaper the next day would splash a photograph of the ominous building, to let the whole population know what had happened while they slept. That a new building had literally grown from the very earth it now stood on, rumbling to life as if it were a great beast. The gates twisting out of the ground and raising high, commanding the separation of the law abiding and the law breakers. Usually the prison sat on an island, now it was positioned at the edge of the water, where it could be reached easily from both Arkham Asylum and Wayne Manor.
