South Mine
Population: 2650 Inmates and 80 Constables, and 1 Chief Constable
The South Mine is a cauldron surrounded in an alcove of very high mountains with large chunks in high places, entirely made of Adamantium. The mine also has tunnels where they seak gold and silver and has chunks of sand colored stones that make the structural solidity of the mountain all more dangerous at the risk of collapsing and causing localized and deadly avalanche. Adding to that, the floor rests barely above lava level, where there are streams of lava all over the ground floor, with bridges, keeping the cauldron at very high temperature and the caves even hotter.
The Mine offers 4 large prisoner barracks, able to host 500 prisoners each, as well as 4 large Guard's barrack, able to host 20 Guards each. The Guard's barracks are the living quarters for the guards, and also where the cafeteria, supplies, water and tools are kept under guard.
The layout makes it very difficult to invade or to evade from. Prisoners are forced to work 10 hours per day, every day for the length of their sentence. The weakest will reach the limit of their endurance and capacity within 6 months, and when one isn't able to work due to extreme exhaustion, they are put to work in the kitchen or other lighter task until they recover some strength, then sent back to mining and so on. Some still dies, but it has become more of a rarity due to all the security measures not to fall and shift vs position alteration.
With 2650 Inamtes, the prison is overcrowded, but Neelyx found an easy solution to the problem; Make some work, while others sleep. With this recent changes, the maximum capacity may be increased to 4,000 instead of 2,000. He already have a plan to change things into an 8h work day rotation, which could allow for up to 6,000 inmates, but this would also require more Constables.
Chief Constable Neelyx
Neelyx lives in a small house build near the barracks and on the same semi-island where all the larger equipment is stored, as well as the stables. The unique thing about Neelyx is that he's a Satyr. He runs the Mine like a Noble Lord runs a District. He is the Judge, Jury and Executioner and all the rumors has it that he runs a 'Tight Ship'.
