Lockdown
The Buckner Ridge Penitentiary—or “Lockdown”—is a privately owned and run super-max prison leased to the U.S. federal government for the detainment of superpowered (and otherwise unusual) inmates. Lockdown helped to take some pressure off of Blackstone Prison, the first such “super-prison,” by relocating some inmates, and continues to serve as both a way station and “overflow” facility after the creation of the Deep Six prison off the coast of Emerald City.
Housed deep within “the Mountain” near Buckner Ridge, Lockdown has a series of tiers descending from its sally ports and landing pads, dug into solid bedrock, with cell-blocks extending off the central shaft like a spiral staircase. The deeper one goes, the more secure the cell-block area, and the more powerful and dangerous its prisoners.
