Blackbird Prison

Blackbird Prison (also called Blackbird Penitentiary) houses incarcerated extrahuman rabids (villains). There are 500 inmates from New Chicago and Mid-America. The prison uses force shackles, Halcyon sedatives, and Thorazine to restrain the prisoners.

Blackbird is located under a freeway. The sprawl of complexes have been a prison since the nineteenth century and the buildings are old enough to have barred windows. The security includes guards, lasers, robots, and traps.

The prison organizes tour groups of the facility, including the gallery of the costumes taken from the villains at the time of arrest.

At the entrance desk, there is a wall of monitors, one for each inmate. The monitors show a live feed of the assigned inmate with a countdown timer in the corner showing the time left on their sentence. In many cases, the counter just reads LIFE. The monitors are on prominent display for public viewing.

The Warden Post "Bob" was attacked by Invader during an attempted escape. Arclight had replaced Invader's sedatives with saline, although Arclight was never caught.

After--but unrelated to--the destruction of Ops, the Blackbird guards go on strike.
